• I feel the connection
    I need to hide it
    I can’t take comfort in its grasp
    The warmth of it
    Fire
    I would burn
    Haha
    A menacing laugh
    My mind filters
    Words on my tongue
    Like ants they march
    4 words
    not 3
    no
    I have to make it personal
    I open my mouth to speak
    I shut it
    It’s better for us both
    My head falls to the desk
    I sigh a deep breath
    No. no. no!
    A frustrated noise
    Confusion
