I Need A Dictionary To Define You

The words ran from your tongue
As if they were going to expire from being unused
So fast that they tripped on
My surprise and fell into my lap
They traced my tears, backwards, up to the watery holes in my
face that refused to cool down.
The jagged edges of my fingernails were not only indication of
my supressed habit, but also indication that I needed
something familiar against my lips.
You studied me like a text book.
You read me like a teleprompter.

Trying to conceal my feelings towards you is about as
effective as a mountain claiming that it's a hill.
Trying to understand how you feel is about as effective as
healing a cut with Windex.
For heaven's sake, just spell it out for me!
I don't know what you're trying to say.
