Stranger

In the beginning
I thought we were  friends
that's why  I selected you as a roommate
and things  ssemed
to be going along well
for the time being

Maybe there was something    I just wasn't seeing.

Then at the end of last semester
you started to talk  about me 
behind my back
this  was hurtful to me
what have  I done wrong to you
to deserve something of that accord?


You denied that you did it
and then accussed me  of talking about you
behind your  back 
when i would never do anything
of the sort
that hurts me even more

I feel like a stranger
in our own room
like I  don't matter
like you're so much better than me.
That's not right at all.

I'm willimg to talk in person
to reconcile
but you don't seem to think
that's worth your while
so you email me or text message me
to complain about stuff instead

I feel  disrespected by you
that's not right at all
I try not to let it get to me
but tears still manage to fall

You say  you'd be a lot happier if
I moved out
but I don't want to sink to your level
I'm  much more mature than you are acting
and am trying to be the bigger persom

However  i am beginning  to lose my paitence
with you
the ticking time bomb is about to expire
I've had it with your complaining
abosolutley had it

if you're so displeased
and unhappy with living with me
maybe you shold move out

  I personally think  that if you have
such a strong dislike for me
then we sould've never been roommates
in first place
You think  I hate you
when in reality
it's exactly the opposite

Author notes

I have been having issues with getting along with my roommate since the end of last semester. Things have been getting considerbaly worse between us since the semester started. I am at a total loss for what to do.

In a list

    i am sorry janine.....that really bites, but on the other hand the poem is very well written and gets to the point...it expresses the feelings very bluntly but with a force that intrigues the reader....love the work, don't like ur roomate too much...hope things go better for you and could you tell peoples that my facebook page isn't working here is where you can e-mail me demon_ghost_secret@yahoo.com thanks and good luck

    that sucks. my roomate and I aren't getting along fabulous either but I think it's becuase she's moving off campus next semester and I'm staying on campus so she thinks we're getting distant...and I've been out partying alot more becuase I'm 21. In regards to your problem I think you should talk to her and tell her if she does feel that strongly she should move out..I mean it's your room too and you don't see the need to move out...girls are so catty sometimes, it sucks!
