Are You?

And so we meet again…

Confused beyond all reason

I am

Are you?

Everything we’ve done together

And everything we haven’t

Has me in a whirl.

 

I know we’ve been here before

But the stakes keep getting higher

And tonight

Tonight

Well I don’t even know what to think

You were so close

And yet so far

Disappointment is so hard to overcome

Especially when neither of us feel the disappointment

 

So what now?

We’ve always been friends

(Much to my dismay?)

But does this make things awkward?

My snide comments don’t help

Awkward

So awkward

But I don’t want things to be this way

 

They say time heals all wounds

But when time is the enemy…

With each passing second my anxiety grows

And grows

And grows

And grows

So unbearable

Sleep…

Definitely not easy tonight

 

When two birds are killed with one stone

We usually feel accomplished…

Wow

A whole new meaning

Every positive cliché

Negative

Instantly

With no hope of redemption

 

So a sleepless night

Where I wait for dawn

It’s radiance a bitter reminder

Of the horrors to come

I alone to face the wrath

You scott-free

Or are you?

What does this mean for us?

What does this mean for “us”?

Or was it ever even possible

 

And so we meet again…

Confused beyond all reason

I am

Are you?

sounds to me that there has always been some kind of tension between these two people. perhaps they keep crossing paths and now they are at a crossroads in their relationship, not knowing if they should take it to the next step...leaves us at a cliffhanger. excellent job.
