Dear Sir
I do not wish to be alone
nor do I require the silence
to ponder my thoughts
and reminisce a bitter past.
I have no desire for small talk
my surroundings are a bit dull
and you seem duller than the four walls.
Wait!
Please do not leave.
I apologize for sounding rude.
Silence and solitude
do not always do the mind well.
My words have escaped me
before they had reason to.
I look to the four walls
for I do not wish to look into your eyes
I have looked and wondered enough
about these four walls
and though you add a change to this dull room
I think it is time for me to go.
A bit of fresh air might do me good
A change of scenery
might catch my words before they slip again.
Life and love has injured me
and words hold no contradiction
they only say they will not contradict
that which is.
Goodbye sir,
I apologize again, my lips are loose
and I have wasted your time.
