nothing.always

all the good has been marred by stubborn stagnancy

the cowardice of needing to stay in familiarity

i’m scarred, bruised black and blue

my heart held your hollowness for too long

i did not know how to love with you

the sweetness, the bliss, the comfort

i could only grasp hints of it

in the blips of your incompetence

it was the two of us for too long

clearly, there was an imbalance

there’s proof in the constant crying

unsure of what was so wrong

i couldn’t rely on you to help define what it was

i did my work and told you what i found

shared it all, i thought complete vulnerability

meant something

i held no reservation; i was completely open

gross, beating heart in my hand

hurting for your reaction

some suspension

but you gave me nothing

always

empty words and parroting what i’ve said

a lifeless puppet thrust into my hands

the pity i felt kept you moving

say something!
