I Dare You to Love
Sit there
With your sad head upon the desk
Shaggy hair in front of your eyes
Closed yourself off and
Shut down again
Stay there
With your lacerated arms crossed
Mouth closed in silent accusation
Blaming me for something I didn't even know about
Stand there
With your torn wrists
Boot upon my chest
Pushing out my life while
Apologizing
Lie there
With our bones wrapped together
Soft breath upon my neck
Manipulating ropes twisted around
My soul.
