Besides That

Take the plunge
to darkness
interestingly
scared
embarrassed
"What?"
confusion
twitch
twitch
shake
scared
embarrassed
let go
let go
if you can
if I can
I apologize
"Sorry"
"Sorry"
I still don't understand
"Why exactly?"
"Only and ever so slightly"
I feel bad
for you
perhaps even
with you
"Too many people"
"You are intimidating"
confusion
this isn't me
"You're about to see the real me"
lies
lies
explain yourself!
laugh
laughter
"Indeed"
"I love you"
said
in
words
"Besides that"
exchange of emotions
pouring of soul
"Damnit"
"Damnit"
I'm so confused
I still don't understand
why
the drama
why
must I push you away
"I actually thought, do I really want to deal with this?"
you had doubts
it hurt
you scared me
as if I wasn't
scared enough
already
and then I ask how
I'm so attached to you
so much
in so short a time
there is always
ice
in
fire
a metaphor?
maybe
I hate myself
everyday
a little bit more
we're so open
with each other
I have no secrets
from you
What is the point of all this?
Why are we together?
What is the point
of my indifference?
my indifference
to everything
I'm tired
oh so tired
walk
walk
walk
"Washington and Serpentine?"
Goodbye.
