Your words were like motive
With secret intention
Was this premeditated
Consuming me with attention
Your words were filling
I swallowed them up
Drunk on emotions
I couldn’t get enough
Your words were dwindling
Like our conversation
You can’t build anything
Without a foundation
Your words were like quicksand
Struggling not to sink
Holding on to life as I knew it
Which you made me rethink
April 24th, 2021
Are you listening to me
I see you disassociate from our conversation
Engaged with another
Like they’re your salvation
Are you seeing me
You make me feel lamentable
Like I’m too much or not enough
Because you’ve deemed me as dispensable
Do you hear your contradictions
Holding me to higher standards than you alone
Inconsistent with your actions
Get off your self-appointed throne

In my doorway
I found you
not what I expected
but I found I like you
You held onto me
very close
and I found
I liked it that way
We were so close
but so far away
and at my front door
I left you
Goodbye
so far
so far
you left me
And in the air
I feel you
telephone calls
wireless connection
So close
so far
so near
so far
But I could wish
and I could want
but I am not
who you want
So far
so far
so far
you don’t want me
So close
so close
so close
I want you
