like old times

i heard your voice for the first time in two months today.

i was listening in on a phone conversation
you mentioned me
like you knew i was there

you said your grandfather died that morning.
and i had zero ounces of compassion left for you
no more tolerance
i don't care about you
i can't stand you
you make me so angry.

and
heartless as it was of me
i almost piped up
and told you to fuck off
because no one cares about your
stupid  problems

instead
i bit my lip
and didn't say what i wanted to

just like old times
