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.
