the bleeding heart of the conversation
that began with ordinary words
but we define and verbalize
these awkward feelings
and gestures fly across your face
they illustrate what we already understand
emotions are demanding
when there's no room for change

how we are so contemplative
used to self-consultation
our words in the car debating
never worked so hard to say
it bores me
you put me right in my place
shut down in many ways
i didn't understand
emotions are demanding
but there's no room for change

critical eyes always looking inside
for movement
on the spot
if we can't move a lot
we might push it
critical eyes always blurring the lines
when we move them
put on the spot
if we can't move a lot
we might push it
