Removing myself,
A sudden flick of a switch,
Ignoring friends none of which
Know what happened,
That I am malfunctioning,
A coil tightening, becoming frightening
Because another was loosened,
Forcing replies,
Days long without goodbyes,
There was no one to try,
Throw out a message,
Not wanting to respond when they do,
One thing is true,
I am growing distant,
My body is resistant,
Fingers not touching a keyboard or a pen,
Because then.

I crack open,
Spill guts,
Give out trust,
As though I simply must
and I do like my life depends on it.

Before I go cold again,
Then I stop taking to any friend,
Wondering when this fight will end.
