YOU WON'T LOOK AT ME!
What does that mean?
Angry with me! ? Why?
We are not in High School!
I thrive on your relation to me…
I can't deny it.
Is it too painful for me to be close?
It is too painful for me to retreat.
I realized that I tried everything in my power to find you.
When I didn't understand what happened...between us.
Friended your sister
Showed up at your house
Called you it seems a thousand times...thanks Adele
You were nowhere to be found.
You were angry..
You wouldn't speak.
Does seeing me bring all that back?
We made up…
We apologized.
We danced… and I made sure of that
Because you said we never would.
Is this how you challenge me?
Am I like a two year old?
If you say no...I have to have it?
Prove you otherwise?
Fine.
I am pushed to continue then.
Yes I know we did things we shouldn't have
We pushed the limits
But then there was Usher and the mid-life crisis crisis
For god's sakes…
Everyone was nuts!
Suddenly it seemed that it was just me
A foolish soul
Knowing nothing
Misunderstanding everything
Fell into a black hole
That only you could pull me out of.
Or fooling myself that it was you pulling me out
When it was me that fought long and strong.
Credit to both..
My reaching out to you
Sparked this creativity
How to reach you…
With my creativity.
The circle again.
Spinning Wheel.
High School.
Racine means Roots
How fitting
I wished you would write about me
But you didn't
And that is how I knew
That I would never know
What you didn't want to say.

Very compelling piece. I was pulled through it by each line from beginning to end. Very gripping with a good hook and good cadence. It works no doubt. Thanks for sharing
