she stares at a white point in the wall
and let the words out of her mouth
no sound of feelings between the rows
indifference

she thinks of a place out of sight
where harmony is real to her
no taste of feelings for all around
deep absence

it takes nowhere this way
and i say it for you
now silence hurts and the words too
i don’t know what you dream
but time is fading and you are this
i wish you knew
i wish you understood

she regrets events of the past
describing images of herself
with cold irony and scorn
from a distance

that she won’t walk back any more
tied up by the selfishness
of wanting at any price
the perfection

but you’ll get nowhere this way
and i’m saying the truth
how many would wish to look like you
i don’t know what you see
but who you are you’ll always be
just wish you knew
someone hurts more than you

…bitterness in my mouth
again
