noticed you sprinting
the other way
when my semblence
rounded the corner

and I haven't the faintest notion
as to why you'd act that way. . .

listen'd to your worries
when the rest of the world
couldn't wait to hurry

so I can't imagine the reason
as to why you refuse to
say my name. . .

work'd tirelessly with you
to help you git yo' self
2-gethah when I told you
to go after that better paying job

and after having
worked 2-gethah, &
dined 2-gethah,
and even pray'd til'
the tears fell from our
up-all-night
puffy-from-worry
eyelids 2-gethah,

no way in life nor death
can I imagine what posses'd me
to be so impress'd
by the depth of your shallowness
which no doubt has crested
to an all time low,
as witnessed by the
shadow of the sadness unearth'd
by the deliberate demon-in-you
