My Donnie Darko

I should have seen it when we were together.
The signs were there, but I was blind.
There was something wrong; I could tell by the way you became silent.

You wouldn't look at me.
You wouldn't talk to me.

It was like you weren't even there.
Like you were in a trance.
You were in a whole new dimension, a totally different world.

I could feel a darkness come off of you.

It scared me.
I didn't know what to think.
I didn't know what to say.
I didn't know what to do, and I was scared.

The distance slowly became apparent.
I no longer knew who you were.
You wouldn't talk to me.
You pulled away, and you ran for your life, and that was it.


There we were again.
We were talking again.
Things were looking up again.

And then all was lost again.
You had left again.
You left me again.

But I should have seen it.
It all added up, but I couldn't do the math.

You were my Donnie Darko.
