Communication is so last season
no, I won't talk to you
I won't look at you but for when
you're talking to me
because I know
I'll slip
and you'll catch me like you always do
and I'll lose
again
when there's so much to keep my eyes on
so no
I won't talk to you
and I won't watch you
as you play and smirk
reveling in who you are
and all you are to her
and him
and them
and I don't care that you only check me
in your periphery
my little logic is
at least you checked
I have a laugh of a life to run
so no
I don't have time to wonder if
you mapped the weights
of sensations you sent
down my spine
with every
single
word
spoken
into the nape of my neck
how I heard nothing but surf from everyone
but you
for days
I won't look
simply hide behind my eyes shut
and whisper with lying lips
under frozen fingertips
as you travel these planes
like you've been here before
and no
I won't
talk
to you
I won't look at you but for when
you're talking to me
because I know
I'll slip
and you'll catch me like you always do
and I'll lose
again
when there's so much to keep my eyes on
so no
I won't talk to you
and I won't watch you
as you play and smirk
reveling in who you are
and all you are to her
and him
and them
and I don't care that you only check me
in your periphery
my little logic is
at least you checked
I have a laugh of a life to run
so no
I don't have time to wonder if
you mapped the weights
of sensations you sent
down my spine
with every
single
word
spoken
into the nape of my neck
how I heard nothing but surf from everyone
but you
for days
I won't look
simply hide behind my eyes shut
and whisper with lying lips
under frozen fingertips
as you travel these planes
like you've been here before
and no
I won't
talk
to you
