explanation looking back over my faults and misdeeds / i see they almost wholly fall into categories of / omissions: i fail you by / never even bothering to show up / looking back on times i've hurt others / its always been caused by / departure or absence / withdrawal from activity and communication / lessens any chance of error or harm / if i do nothing, i do nothing wrong / if i communicate nothing , i say nothing wrong / if i exchange nothing / or connect with nobody / i can wrong nobody / i can be safe / in my isolation instead of pursing perfection through constructive means / i slowly implode / into a black hole / of avoidance / when i shrink away from you / into tiny thoughts / with a tiny voice in my head / i know / i'll leave you questioning / but don't question / my desire / to be good for you / question only / my ability to do so |
