When the silences grow stone cold
And you don't fill in the gaps in conversation -
When I can't bring myself to change the subject
But we both know it has to be done -
When I can't find words,
For once in my life,
When I am out of things to tell you because I have told you everything.
Is this how it's supposed to be?
What now?
I believe in America and I believe in who we could be
but I don't believe in who we are.
It's so easy to give up and let them reign.
I am.
I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,
and I won't.
My science teacher accused me
playfully and yet fiercely
of stealing an envelope
I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part
so it glues together
because it was just so tempting.
True love.
Love that's true.
Love you know
in your heart
is you and another person.
I guess I like to think I'm in love
I never really know.
