In an upside-down garden

I, quite nonchalantly, decided not to
breathe today, not to be today, not to
see everything for what it was, or to
bother with anything extraordinary
because, quite frankly, I am tired of
the seasons changing, and I am exhausted
by your word-of-mouth proclamations
telling me that everything I thought of
was just

Well, nothing.

And this is supposed to portray my point
of view to you, it's meant to leach my head
ache away from mindless words that you've
betrayed to better play the strings with, my
dear, your words are all that I can hear and
quite frankly, I am appalled by your lack of
enthusiasm for any subject that does not
scream with blatant concern for your presence
in my empty world,

And, you see,

When it rains, it pours here and I cannot hear
your thoughts above the screams of thunder,
over the knowledge of all the wonderful, blunderful
bad timing moments that I am dwelling on
ever-so-gently, ever-so-splendidly, ever-so-slightly
forgetting that we are both people who say
words strung in chords and wrapped like the
packages under your Christmas tree
you leave stupid presents for me

And, I am sorry.

ouch
signs of an inability or unwillingness
to communicate, for communication involves two sharing, a give and take, and it seems these two souls have shut each other out
