“You never listen to me.” Perhaps. A multitude of sighs. I can’t exhale enough – What appears as casual disregard Is in fact utter despair. Looking at the floor I feel like a child scolded, Small again, Forced contrition your only appeasement. “You have such double standards!” Possibly. Maybe I don’t want to be controlled. Maybe I need the VELOCITY Maybe I just want to scream and cry and Tear my hair out and laugh. Hysteria Rage Passion Torment I want it all - Honey, give me whiplash. “I don’t understand you.” Really…? And then I cry. Tears are hot and heavy, and so EASY to come by. Each one a symbol of my hope Drying up Washing away any optimism A reminder that we no longer have a dream. Was all we had just a chimera? A fanciful pointless entity – No substance Transparent HOLLOW. Oh baby, I’m just so tired.
Reason for writing:
I wanted to try something a little different, 'the things that people think when they are arguing with their partner but don't say' was my basic inspiration. Seeing as I had a lot of experience in that area *s* I thought I'd try and get out some frustration. Comments and constructive criticism VERY welcome!
