i dare you to turn me on
to make it all worth my while,
the drowning feeling i get
submerged in your presence
sinking into you
instead of floating in your current--
what is this rock tied to my ankle?
depression?
despair?
boredom?
apathy?
am i just lonely right now,
stupidly avoiding the things that would heal me?
i don't understand how i can be so free
and yet so tied,
unsure of my own thoughts and actions
when the landscape shifts
just a centimeter to the right...
