This poem was written on August 7, 2020, for my Creative Writing class. If by chance you recognize this poem from school, please do not disclose my real name. I will report you for giving out personal information about me without my consent.

Something about you seems different,

Something about you seems blue

A great big mask of pain and trauma and

The time I spent with you.

And though now we're enemies

On opposite sides of the war

I'm always thinking of the love

That died when I sealed the door.
