the first word that i received from you when my eyes cracked apart "hatred" between hatred and "no" no was the beginning of the last things there was a flurry of expressions that reminded me of you the real you all things that we only whisper to each other like a sting of cartoon hearts "tell me youre alive" "i hate your guts" "secret telling sessions" "lord father god" but that wasnt you today you were that overly independent woman who holds my hand when she wants only to beat me in private you dont get to pick when you have someone like you have me i have no on off switch i stay on this is no co-dependence this is me relying on you for rescue from my own loneliness dramatization and voice
i talk to my self in my sleep without you mostly jibberish but that one percent of real-life murmuring that sobbing speech MEANS something im not sure what quite yet nor will i ever i suspect im still taking notes though but i guaran-*******-tee you it doesnt mean things are swell peachy ******* keen
i ask for no lap dog but for a cohort i desire no therapist but for a co-conspiritor i yearn for no nurse maid but for an equal
a woman who i dont have to teach but am taught by a fellow ex-patriot who still believes in no borders a woman with a skerple ready to write on my walls
