Elucidating Questions

In a chalk jungle where dreams are washed away

As the odds stack higher and higher.

Looking out in to crowd after crowd of faces who don’t know me

And don’t want to.

Who do I walk up to to change how alone I am?

None of them, I’m afraid.

Balanced on a wire

Between fear

And abyssal solitude.

No one recognises me.

How many tears have I cried alone this year, huddled in spaces away hoping no one sees

As the tears turn to laughter,

I can’t believe how stupid I am.

If I wanted this then why am I crying?

But I didn’t…

I wanted so much more than this.

If this is what I need then why does it hurt so much?

This is the last step.

I’m so close.

He’s going to let me.

He’s my entire world and his world is my entire world

And I would give up everything for him

And I was ready to

And he’s going to watch as I take the final step.

I love you.

The silence responds.

Exactly.
