i have to probe in order

 to know

your feelings, emotions

things you show

why does it have to be this way?

tell me please so that i may

talk to you without feeling like

i’m being lied to, but not out of spite

these half-baked thoughts- it’ll make me feel better?

i’m standing in the rain; can’t get any wetter

might as well speak up for how you feel

you’ve betrayed me with words

c’est unreal.
