Tell me now

FineArtAmerica















Circling you like a cat
focused on its prey,
I poke and prod and question
and query and nag and badger
you about the problem.
You barely can take a breath
as I batter you relentlessly and
eventually you fail to respond
as I overwhelm, surround, and
consume you and your
defensive silence,
though I don't stop stalking
or talking.
I must have an answer, an
explanation, a reason, and
closure.
We never get there - I never
give you a chance and yet
I'm mad that we don't and the
obsession with resolution and
control continues.
