Lucy Sees

What is happening
is both only her problem
and also everyone else's
in a strangely
indirect
yet inescapable way

...she hates this
feels like apologizing
to the world

She doesn't
want to blame him
he can't decide
when to trust
stop and listen

or jump
and accuse her
of having no loyalty

She's become
impulsive
to cope with it

she's always interrupting
conversations online suddenly
seems cold and distant

Really, she's just trying to be
social in a contradictory
world where her hobbies
feel taboo...

"but they're not!"

(Yeah, right...)
