Dear Precious Human

Your pain 

Your loneliness

They masquerade as aggressive opposition 

A desperation to engage

Engagement of any kind, 

blisses out your mind 

But I see you 

I see you exert the energy of your being

Into pushing

Pushing forwards

Pushing yourself 

Pushing away  

But when you're at your most vulnerable

I see you too

Needing 

Pleading 

Open

And it captures me 

Askew 

Right before it closed it reeled me in 

Now it's locked again 

With me inside

I can't get out 

I tried 

You want to let me out

But can't 

So here I sit

Longing 

Stuck

Looking more at you from 

The inside out 

While you pretend I'm not there 

And I feign a pout  

With time I'll forget where I am 

Fall back into where 

I began 

But you 

You will fall

And at that time 

Crawl 

To the nearest plea

But there won't be space

Because here I'll be 

Waiting 

the only one to see your face

in reality
