Save Us
by
Katherine Tildes
What have I done for myself lately?
What have I done for you?
Have I truly tried opening up,
letting you in completely.
Have I?
I don’t know.
I don’t know what I am doing.
Where am I going?
Do I follow a path
already laid out for me?
Are my plans already
made out in the stars?
Damn, I wish I knew.
I wish I didn’t think so much,
or worry,
or wonder.
I just don’t know.
I need to talk to you,
we need to discuss this situation.
This thing we’re involved in.
We need to spend hours talking,
engage in ourselves.
One on one.
Find out who we really are.
Where are you going?
Where am I going?
Damn, I lost my map.
I hope you can be my compass
through this maze.
Save me.
Wait, save yourself.
No, better yet, save us.
Are we drowning in us?
