Questions

They say you will never learn if you don't ask, but how do we learn if 'curiosity killed the cat?'

What are we doing?This on and off is so off-puttingI can’t put my finger on it butI get the feeling we’reThroughLike your words to my heartThey pierce and I bleedBut where’s the exit wound?

Why are you here?Like an instrument you play meMy inability to say no is your favorite string to strum; it’s so fucking dumbI can’t figure out your angleWhat’s right and what’s wrongIt’s completely obtuseI need your Love but I need me back

When will we be?Us is the concept I’ve come toLong for our bond, I believe we’re truly meant to beBut how can we be if I cannot be me?Your strength is plenty and I feel the weightWith every pushbackI’m not one to fold so we just keep onForcing something that I fear to admit ended a long time ago

Where do you stand?Other than on my throatAlways silenced so you’ll never knowOnly when I can no longer take the quietBut when you can no longer control your rageBesides pressed on my heartYou aim to hurt and it brings you pleasureDo I matter at all or do you smile as I wither?
