pace yourself.
i was tired and lonely
and underfed.
you were thirsty and
bargaining for water.
misunderstood.
the way we interact
when we're too busy inside
ourselves to really
see
eachother. i was here and
you were there. we held
hands at times along the
way. you opened your
mouth. i hid your words
and fed to you what
i needed you to
say.
