spoken for myself.
spoken for, myself.
entitlement claimed
to intimacy, no authority
who wants to know
who doesn't want to know
some parts failed the test
so i leaned into those
unavailable emotions
never vulnerable
never enough to have been had
greedy little things
need more to need
more to need, and so on
wield good faith
against from where it came
sucker-punched empathy
the first glance, skin deep
distractions, keep all eyes
focused on the surface tension
alone by choice
one choice remains
personal pathos
accept no for the answer
search inside for them
or search the stars
look around, anywhere
anywhere but that perspective
everything wasted
waiting to be watched always
never let it go
never let it grow
need to be needed
keep whatever it is around
what is gained for the energy put it
obviously unknown
obviously still needed
keep a captive
a lion or a lamb
each one knows what the other is
a price exacted, paid from obscurity
