Don't Catch Me, Just Because You Can

We talk
Not to each other
Always about

We throw lassos made of words
And try to catch one another
With accusations and hurt

My lasso always come undone
I'm terrible with the knots
you see

I want to pull you in
Get you closer to me
But not like this

I know the lasso will choke your throat
Just like it chokes mine
So I'll throw you a rope instead

And wait for you to give a tug
