i'm sorry for swinging at you,
it's just
i don't really know how to
accept affection:

surprise hugs and gentle kisses are
foreign currency in an
emotional economy driven by fear,
supported by love that blossoms
black and blue.

i'm sorry for screeching at you,
it's just
i don't really know how to
communicate:

the words get stuck somewhere between
the soft and hard palates,
sounds caught in limbo,
messages hanging from my uvula
like so many deflated party balloons.

and most of all,

i'm sorry for leaving you,
it's just
i don't really know how to
be happy.
started with the 3rd/4th stanzas, added and rearranged, still feels like it fell flat. feels like everything starts out strong and then falls flat.

haven't been online in forever because first world priorities.

this actually had nothing to do with what i sat down to write about in the first place. ahaha.
