three days
three days and not a word
pulled the old veins open again
and let them run helter-skelter over the page
for your sake
thats not something I'm eager to share
at least not anymore

you taught me to be overly cautious long ago
and again
and again
and again until me heavy eyes doubt themselves

I've seen the woman in you
from time to time
but always as the introdutction -
lead with the best froward, right?

and I think
maybe this is the connection that won't fade-
two parallel paths and end of time philospsphies
and I think the day might finally be here

even though I never get (my hope)up anymore
cause all my friends are tired
of the same conversation for the past three years

but before the week is gone
you've ducked back inside yourself again
and left me exposed, again,
at your request (I might add)
naked and fumbling

all I ask is that you return the favor sometime
I won't judge - I don't do that
you know that
so what are you so frightened of confessing?
