For once I did not secretely crave his rescue. I did not want to be scooped up And have my pain smoothed over By kisses.
I wanted to sit alone Hold my pain in tightened fists and stare at the wall.
As if I was looking for an answer to my misery. Staring for another world to hide in but all I saw was a blank slate And when I pressed my forehead To the cold paint, I did not hear an echo Or a whisper to help solve my problem.
