Give her a break

You

always

always

always

follow her around

getting into her personal space

never letting up;

yes,

I know that you two are and have been best friends since kindergarten

but isn't that a bit much?

You do as many things as possible that she does

and I can tell by now

that she's getting tired of it;

she's human

she wants a break

I'm not speaking for her

but I'd just like to say

that you're getting way too close

she needs space sometimes, too

she's not immune to exhaustion and insecurity and introversion

I know her well

and when I say this, I mean it

give her a break, would you?

Give her some space

I know you like her

but it's getting on her nerves

heck, it's getting on my nerves too

just let up a bit, okay?

It's nothing against you

she just needs to breathe

    Orange pen

    curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page

    fulfilling my orders

    moved by my hand.

    dancing across the page

  • How come?

    Are you aware

    what you did?

    For the third time?

    Once again?

    Do you know

    how I feel?

    Ignored

    overlooked

    how come?

    How come you didn't put in my effort?
