Confused.

I'm so confused.

why?
why do you do this to me?
every comment double sided
every word a million meanings
every glance confusing as hell

Why?
why do my feet absently bring to you 
carrying my crazy, love bamboozled mind to your seat
my knees going weak when I see you
wanting to cave in under my immense longing 

Why? 
why do I give in to you 
I know you don't want me 
yet i let my mind tell me what I want to hear 
and let you take advantage of me

Why?
why can't I ask you a simple question 
one that has the power to end my pointless suffering 
or start a new ecstasy filled future 

Why?
can't I simply function
when I need to. 

I'm so confused. . .

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
