The I and the U.

you are
Inconvenient and Unkind.

helpful at first
nowhere to be found at the end

just.like.me.

when i am in need
you are unavailable
when i am unavailable
you are in need

i’d like to show you to the world
but you stay in and immerse yourself in yourself

just.like.me.

i spend most days creating conversation in my head
things i wish i had said one day
most of these things i have said to you
sometimes i cannot believe i had the courage.

i summon the bliss of not knowing you
but to do so means to not know myself.
