Safety in my own skin

I study the floor
I don't look up
Nonetheless I walk into you.

Was it an accident,
Was it a coincidence?
That as we meet
I begin to weep?

And how you didn't even say sorry
You just stroll on without a worry
And it's alright
As long I don't cry tonight?

I wish I knew where I was going
You knew I was in front of you
You knew I wouldn't have a clue
So you decide to knock me down.
I scream for help but you've thought it through
You made it so I don't know what to do.

And there are many things I want to confess.
To profess about.
To obsess about.

But you have tied me to a chair
My mouth is taped
And you're pulling my hair.

And I stare at the ceiling.
Words are painted across,
Throwing me down - more of a toss.
All you do is make me read...
Words everywhere.
Word sprawled and inked.
You held me tight so I could stay
But for myself I began to pray:
- T

Dear God, I love you and now would be great.
Can you come now? Before it's too late?

So I pray on.
And my prayers are answered
As you suddenly disappear
Vanished. Gone. Diminished. Gone.
I feel I've grown.
