It Was A Soft October Night: You (Are All And None) Link post

Staff Note: interesting.

lettersinblackandblue:

You.

You and your neoprene machines with an orange sheen,

Taking and giving the sufficient-for-self cyclical motion,

Heaviness wasting away in defeat

And my head hitting the table two (too many times)

You.

You, blanking out spaces with translucent lines,

Semi-visible shades to color in a sketch

Of black and white suggestion with no basis

Worth half a damn.

You.

You held out hollow caring like a glove,

Gingerly making contact with and pushing away

Tentative, concrete-that-was-settling asking for

“Just a friend”.

I hate you, and you, and all the rest:

But I love you just as much.

(Isn’t that strange?)
