DMZ

I suppose he wonders why

I don't even acknowledge it,

Why I won't meet him halfway

Or send him away in defeat,

Or perhaps the already suspects

That I need that kind of drama

Like a fish needs a bicycle.

I suppose she expects me

To do everything, to be everything,

To swoop in, sweep her off her feet,

That whole fairytalestorybook bit,

But that's not my kind of relationship.

I'm not looking for a princess,

Just a friend.
