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?

  • Beauty

    The world is muted

    muffled

    as the snow sprinkles your hair

    lice,

    you remember a friend calling it once in 5th grade

    you got mad at him for that.

     

  • On the hearth

    On the hearth

    there is a fireplace

    it has a pile of chopped logs,

    coals,

    torn up pieces of newspaper

    awaiting their burnt endings

     

    On the hearth

    a fire burns

    flickering and crackling
