Catatonia
When you call me up I’ll be ready
Snap to attention
Don’t expect a trumpet
Or a french horn
Not a clap
From the gallery
But there wouldn’t be one of those
Anyway,
Who do you think you are?
And anyways, would you wanna?
You danced across the room
And it startled me
Catatonic
I’m in that awkward state I told you about
Hyper sensitive, self conscious
Afraid to move
I nod in your direction
And through clenched teeth..
“I’m with him”
The silence speaks volumes
I’ve been energetically put in my place
Not by you but her
Eyes wide
Wider than I’ve ever seen
And black.
I like it
I appreciate you
Let’s jump
So many moments
It’s out. It’s finally out.
You took it in
I brace myself
My work is done here
But really I kinda
Expected more from you
