Your Friend

My eyeballs saw you and sent you to my stomach My stomach hiccupped up to my mouth and made it smile My mouth blabbed to my brain but my brain said ..."wait" To my heart, who felt too much for two seconds then compelled My face to flush and my legs to rush past your waving hand And my brain reminds us all again We are not your friend My eyeballs find the floor and sweat but My stomach grumbles about the salty taste to My mouth who frowns at my brain sitting Righteous and oblivious, glaring towards My heart in the corner, who forgot to ask permission first, Making my face look foolish and my legs too brisk to be cool And my heart reminds us all again, We were once your friend Your friend.
