The Depressing Pressure of Keys

There's a finger on my neck pressing
harder by the minute
until
I let go of my fears.
But you never asked me to,
You never asked
me.
Cover my eyes with prints and creases
and press,
its all so pressing.
I have a headache,
Thats the key.

Dang young_blood, I can never figure out your cryptic poems! Good write! But ummm do you mind explaining yourself, before my vague suspitions and half-formed conclutions drive me any More insane?

Its about the pressure the of blind love. Its demanding and freeing and crushing. The pressure builds until you ignore the source and just blame the symptoms. Its the depressing pressure of keys.
