Small Talk

“Hey this is Dan”

Shit I’m really doing this

I must finally be losing it

Stepping out of my comfort zone

I feel like I wanna chuck my phone

I can barely look, oh God she’s typing

I’m so unprepared for whatever she’s writing

“Hey! How are you?”

Oh wow, what a basic play

I’ll answer this straight away

I’ve got her figured out too

“I’m doing good, what about y-“

Hold up, wait a second

That’s the fakest question

Does anybody actually care?

Would they solve the problem if it was actually there?

“If it’s just between you and I?

Everyday I think of suici-“

Shit, that’s probably too far

Just let her know who you are

But this last year I haven’t felt the same

I watch porn late at night to melt the pain

I feel like no one could ever get me

But I don’t want this chick to sweat me

I’ve got a chance and I’m not trying to ruin mine

“Well I guess you could say I’m doing fi-“

No, that's way too boring

Maybe just tell her about my morning?

Maybe I could bring up the weather

Or say something to make me look better?

“Lately I’ve been doing fant-“

“I just got a new promotion I’m ecst-“

“I had breakfast that’s ave-“

“Not as good as this weather we're hav-“

Why am I strung so damn high?

What’s she mean? How am I?

What’s with the interest?

That’s none of her business

I’m always angry, I’m always tired

If I told her I was good I’d be a liar

How dare she put me on the spot, I’m blown

“You fucking bi-“

Shit I dropped my phone

Damn let me delete that

What’s wrong with me? I can’t repeat that

Is this what I’m like to my friends?

Wait, hold on, she’s typing again

“Hey I can see you typing, did I make you nervous?

I wasn’t trying to do that on purpose

Is there anything I can do?”

“No it’s alright, I’m doing good, how are you?”
