rabbitt's foot

you slumber softly
I am ever softer
I don't want to wake you
I'm not terribly upset
just horribly overwhelmed
and it's not really fair anyway
to either of us for me to
keep destroying what's left
for though I'd rather be happy
and keep you thoroughly the same
it would happen not quite so easy
and yet to my credit
the depths of your sadness
are an animal all it's own
that you'd prefer to remain
rather than resolve.

and I understand, really,
because in that sense we're alike
is this all just half hearted?
do we work so well because there's
a definite split coming?
even if it's true, it would be nice if
you didn't mention it so much
or at all, even joking

because I wish it wasn't (true)
