let's pretend it doesn't matter
eyes don't dart
across closed space
and hands don't grasp
for warmth
in the dark

we'll say
that i'm naive
and you're wise
that i'll be a writer
and you'll be a reader
that's all that matters
isn't it

we'll say
our arms don't ache
just for company
we're alone
and peaceful
aren't we

let's pretend it doesn't matter
that the loneliness
isn't seeping into our veins
like a lethal injection
and time isn't ticking by
like a time bomb

More than once, my primary conversations with humans have been upon these blue pages.
