i'm so stuck
in your web
of uncertainty

will you come over
tell me something
or kill me

please decide
for i have dreams
i don't know if i should keep

because there's you
showing up
only to leave

glass shards
look so attractive
better than any reflection

for emptiness
cannot be seen
thus needs no attention

and it's fine
i just wish you wouldn't lie

i should stop writing
or else i will run out of words
and i'll end up staring bleakly
at my failure
again

and it's fine
it's not as if i pretend
my acting is a hobby
i promise

and and i suffocate
but only temporarily
because i want to make sure
i can keep you alive

you,
a stranger,
who i barely said
"see you later"
to

you,
you,
you?

you.
