Can't Decide

& Can't Hide

"It is a much simpler task to ignore one's feelings rather than to face up to the simultaneous loving and hating of a person."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scholars have a word for this, you know

Ambivalence

Not one feeling or another & not even

Equivalence

A private little war inside my brain

Indolence

No longer available...must come up with a great

Defense

Measuring pros and cons of evidence for swallowing

Offense

And doing so with immeasurable

Pretense

Hoping my heart would not give way to this

Suspense

An out of body experience one could say even

Cryptic

Praying this communication between us is not close to

apocalyptic
