water cooler talk
comraderie feels so abrasive
honesty invasive
when i know you're only talking to me out of pity
isolation feels the safest
so i hope don't you take this
the wrong way but what do you want with me
because if the interaction was pure
why do i feel cored when it's through
my peace for yours
the tradeoff feels tainted and skewed
kinda wish you hadn't asked
or tried to swat away my storm clouds
be content with what you have
and i'll grieve the way my heart allows
your kindness not taken for granted
but i feel how i feel even if you don't understand it
think me oversensitive or unreasonable if you must
but i need loyalty and genuity and intensity and trust
and what can you give but fodder
why even bother
i think i just lost the purpose of my life
and you think you can just tell me it'll be alright
just cut me even deeper if you'd like
if that's the way it is
