you ask if i can read you yet.
i always answer no,
but im afraid to tell you that i can.
i see your sadness
your anger
your hurt
and your desire for it to all go away.
to feel better is all you want.
i keep telling you no,
because i am afraid.
afraid that if i finally say yes youll close up.
you wont talk to me,
and youll shut down.
so ill keep being the girl who cant read you,
when in reality.
i get sad when your sad,
i become angry when your eyes get frustrated and show you anger.
and i hurt when you hurt.
but most of all,
we have the same desire.
for all your pain,
to vanish down the drain.
z.l.
