I sat where I sat

I didn’t want to break routine

And you got upset

Cuz that’s where you’d been sitting

I tried to explain,

You finally complied.

Then isolated yourself,

And sulked in silence.

I didn’t go over and ask what’s wrong.

Other people seemed concerned.

Is there something wrong with me,

For being so sure,

That it was a tactic,

To cause lines to blur?

I did nothing wrong,

And I will stand by it.

I wouldn’t trust honesty,

Though you don’t deliberately defy it.

It’s bad but crying,

Or public distress,

Just seems like a way,

To get the upper hand.

Do you really need it?

Holding us all in your palms?

Have I lost track,

Of who I’m really talking about?…

Who am I talking about?

Who am I talking to.

For all the words leaving your mouth,

I hardly know you.
