sneezy

i think what i felt for you 
was something like a sneeze: 
i felt it coming before everyone else... 
starting out slow, just a tickle 
easily ignored, until it rushed forward 
all at once, overwhelming, 
and at that point I knew 
it was gonna be messy 
so you handed me
some bullshit tissue 
without saying ‘bless you’
and maybe it took
me a while to clean up,
make myself presentable,
but eventually
i threw that "tissue" away 
without saying thank you
and life carried on.
