Undefined
You and I are undefined
We have no claim on each other
We say we are friends, yet how meaningful is that
Everyone is everyone else's friend
We started this not long ago
And now we are back to where we started
Strangers, how can we be that
But we are
I barely even know you
Time has not been sweet
And now he asks that I let go
Before I fall too deep
Do you even wonder
Why I do not meet your eyes
Why I rarely notice you
Why I act like a stranger
I know
that you look
you hear
you touch me
But I do not know
if you see
and listen
and feel
I am a survivor
I was raised to protect myself from harm
To turn inward when hurt comes too close
To retreat even before the battle
But I do wish I were braver
I wish I could stand and fight
Fight for you
Fight for us
But I do not know how to fight
All I know are words
Words that I will speak tonight
And hope you hear and listen
