When you distance yourself from people,
yet still feel bound to them
by invisible debts of the heart,
you wait for their return as
if waiting for a verdict.
And in that waiting, a strange cruelty unfolds,
for it feels as though you are driving a blade into your own chest,
punishing yourself
for the very love you could not bear to hold.
