not finished yet
right now everything
is lingering
right on the rim
i wouldn't budge me
if i were you
because i can't keep myself from
spilling
and you can never
keep yourself from diving in.
i might need you now
but that doesn't mean later
you will feel hollow
please
build your strengths against
my weakness
you'll end up getting hurt
i know

wrote this for a friend, such a dear friend, he never seems to resist any opportunity to fall inside of a trap, emotional traps!
