like snakes.

you waltzed into my life one day without a care in the world 
you were loud, always made yourself known
you had to be the center of attention
everyone loved you, how could they not?
you had that infectious smile that lit up everyone’s life
but not your own 
i could see the tear stains on your indigo shirt
that no one else saw
something about the way you conceal your feelings was dangerous to me 
because I do the same 
as the days go by you shed pieces of you 
i’m starting to lose you as you fall into depression
are we meant to be?
we’re both slimey in nature
like snakes we slither around until we’re ready to attack

are we meant to be?
