#39- Creepy.

Weirdness, just a little bit ago.

Strange feeling, 

At the moment.

About the weirdness, 

Today, Miss.

Just moments ago.

Sent me a snap.  

And the message:

"F**k that."

With a screen cap

Of your phone

Showing a news article

About the game we like.

And at the top,

A push notification.

"Text Message - [SOME GUY'S FULL NAME]:

<3"

Something simple. 

Inane.

But it struck me hard.

"That's Him, huh?"

Creepy.

Meant to deflect it

With a joke.

"F**k what?  

The article 

Or the text from [NAME]?"

Deleted it before sending.

Pretended I didn't notice His text.

I don't know if you did.  

When you sent me that snap.  

If you sent it knowing it was there.

Or if it was an accident.

But it creeped me out a lot.

Still does.

Did you know?

Or don't you?

Again--

Never told you

How creepy it feels

That He and I have 

The same first name.

But the same 

Last and middle initial too?

Creepy.

Moreover, and it's

Hard to admit it.

I googled that

Mysterious full name.

Just to see 

If that's really Him.

Expecting maybe

To find

A social media page.

With a picture

To confirm.

Didn't expect at all

To find all these 

Arrest record sites.

Detailing an arrest

And probation.

For possession of cocaine.

And these 

Creepy mugshots.

Of the face.

Of the man

You picked 

Over me.

Smug and expressionless.

Did you know?

Or don't you?

Either way,

Creepy.

Author's Note

Again. Quick poem, thrown together when something upsetting happens. Still trying to process what just happened, to be honest. Just... strange.

This left me so curious!!!

[CarlyFlower]

Eek. That doesn't sound fun... Did she know?

[Paper]

I don't know. I kind of doubt it. I doubt she knew that she sent me the snap with the text. And I also suspect she doesn't know about His drug history. Or if she does, she might be rationalizing it as "just a phase" or something. Maybe He's really past all that stuff, but the thing was just a couple years old. He's still under probation. I think. It's confusing. And I think another site said something about Him being arrested for possessing and "delivering" LSD.

She has an unfortunate habit of seeing things very black and white. And I've seen her glance over some inconvenient things about Him, flat out denying them or not remembering some negative details.
