Poetry: I stand accused

by Joseph King

Created on: December 20, 2008

Hey, just wanted to reinforce
What I said earlier
There was a reason I walked past you in the dining hall
And Jim had to go ruin it
"Hey, guys, wanna sit with them?"
(NO)
Oh yeah, one of Jim's friends was there too
And I didn't want to make a big scene as a first impression
So we sit down, you in the middle of a conversation already
And I sit my tray down next to you
While you said something like "blah blah little bitch like Brian"
So I, believing strongly in the philosophy of
a face for an eye
remarked "what a c*" to the shock of the table
Jim asked me not to use that strong of a word
And I said some things to cover my ass
"yeah, I've just been using that word a lot this year for some reason"
SO I say to you later, now
I won't be taking it back
Because I soooooo meant it
Like an "I love you."
