maybe if
I speak
very slowly
breaking up
these lines
into short
simple phrases
you just
might understand
my point
of view

don’t you
widen your
baby blue
naïve eyes
at me
you can’t
twist these
good intentions
and make
me out
to be
the villain

I refuse
to feel
guilty about
this side
I’ve taken
against you
because you
are not
being fair

who said
“blood is
thicker than
water”? because
they never
met you
and your
girlfriend (or
shall I
say fiancée?)
and me

you insist
you are
not ignoring
your friends—
excuse me
I guess
I forgot
I’m not
your friend
I’m just
your twin,
my mistake

my blood
must be
thinner than
her Greek
Mediterranean Sea
pity I
never knew
and you
won’t see

don’t get
me wrong
I’m not
asking you
to leave
the girl
who used
to be
my friend
(now just
your girlfriend)

I just
want a
small piece
of my
twin brother
is that
too much
to ask?
so don’t
tell me
this is
my fault

I just
don’t want
to be
forgotten—I
don’t want
to be
pushed aside
I just
want time

but no,
you and
your girlfriend
(sorry, fiancée)
are obviously
in your
own world
where I
don’t fit
and you
don’t notice

but wait
one day
she’ll leave
and you’ll
remember me
(oh! I
have a
twin sister?
I forgot)
but you
will find
burnt bridges

and I
will laugh
(oh! you
actually remembered?)
turn away
and leave
because ignoring
you will
be a
second nature
to me

a/n: just because I love you doesn’t mean I have to always like you. don’t think I didn’t notice that you just let her punch our sister in the stomach, asshole. you probably don’t even realize that you’re giving up your family for her. but you are.
