Why do you have to be
This confusing?
You like me but
Can’t give me a ring
You don’t want to know
How I’ve been,
it’s so everyone can find,
my name on their screen
I still hold you close,
Your face to mine,
Just so I can see
The other signs
You notify me,
One by one,
Things others have said,
Written or done
Let’s go for a jog,
Come with me?
It’ll be good for us
Time together, quality
You disagree again,
your energy is low
well I’m tired of you too,
And your diminishing glow
I can’t leave you alone
my run can wait,
I have an hour before work
today I can’t be late
I succumb to you,
Let’s talk instead,
Tell me something good,
From the top of your head
What topic you ask,
The latest news:
There’s a fire in the woods
A world covered in fumes
My eyes are hurting,
Can we change the subject?
This isn’t easy to hear
Nor easy to forget
You quickly move on
And show me pleasant visuals
quick stories of -
my friends’ rituals
There you go,
You’ve made me smile,
I hold you tighter
For a longer while
But you bring it up again,
What’s ugly and true,
Hidden behind a world
I thought I knew
Let’s tell the others,
About this world of ours,
But you tell me to wait
For the right hour?
Afraid, you’ve made us
To share and speak,
Quiet, we’ve stayed,
Of hypocrisy, you reek
But your voice is louder,
The fire is growing
It’s time to speak up -
The world is moaning
I pick you up,
I won’t push you away,
No time for cowardice
There’s so much to say
You’ve been silent,
but don’t easily scare
start the conversation
With the world, and share
