Questions

I'm

confused

did I do it

what happened?

You were melancholy earlier

what is going on

what did I miss

was it me?

 

You talk in subtle hints

but what are you hinting at?

you claim things that don't line up with other things you say

are they excuses?

 

We're making assumptions

we're talking for each other

it's not working

we need to say it all on our own

stop beating around the bush!

 

You used to be a brilliant purple light that stung my eyes yet drew me forward

you're like my older sibling

what happened?

Was it me

who did it

what is going on

what did I miss?

 

Why the long face?

What did I miss in the 45 minutes we weren't together?

I'm confused

full past the brim with questions

something is going on

you aren't really telling me

and you're worrying me

I want you to be okay;

please

just say the truth

like, the real truth

not something to satisfy me

to quiet my concern

I'm honestly worried

I want you to be okay

my questions keep coming and I can't stop

can you tell me what's going on?

    Revival

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
