Mr. Social Distancing
By: Shuri
🪶
From nobody to a friend of a friend,
Shouldn't have let it pass that
Our relationship should just be about business
Now I got sidetracked.
🪶
You always lure me with your voice,
Your jokingly creepy smile is your charm
Thought you're just a siren,
But I tried looking behind your face.
🪶
Curiosity and interest, my excuses
Just wanted to get to know you more
Before everything and every emotion starts,
Wanted to add more reasons other than your presence
🪶
But I stepped back, lost confidence again
Your door is closed for me
Did I make a mistake? Give you pain?
Or just wanna stay away from me?
🪶
Keep ignoring my little attempts
Now I'm just chasing you in small steps
Will I just be someone from class to you?
Will I just be less than a friend to you?
🪶
Now we're just social distancing,
Passing me by in the hallway
Looking for someone new that isn't panicking
Sorry that I grew up this way
🪶
I stepped back, stopping my violence
My door is closed for you
You think I'm insane? Have anger issues?
You're scared of me, aren't you?
🪶
