reading between the li(n)es

honesty is such a
tricky thing.
there are just
too many ways to
fail.

there are so
many days
that i only
want to tell you

want to let you
in
let you know me
love me.

but then the
honest-to-god
reality hits
with a pretty
little picture of you,
and in it, you are running.
running away

and so,
i've decided to stay
quiet
