My heart aches &

I think

I'mgoinginsane

(finally figuring it out)

because every time I shut

my eyes and the dark closes in

you're there looking at me

so excuse me if I'm

just a tad

distracted

and I don't speak right away

because I have to think

for at least a

millennium

how to respond

(at a moment's notice).

Don't ask that question if

you {only} want

(an essay on my feelings)

a one word answer:

"Fine."
