Familiar

Long ago, you have been saying-
Things behind my back.
Thinking all the while,
That I wouldn’t know.

Long ago, you have been-
Teasing me, taunting me,
Ever since we’ve met.
But I stood up,
Against you

For I have been silently, watching you,
For the past few days.
Tracking down your actions,
Eavesdropping your conversations.
Yet there is nothing I want from you,
You just seem,
Familiar.
