Apologies First

apologies first
For feeling, for thinking, for 
overspending my overextending 
"hospitality"
which probably
is an apology 
for you *having to be here

*In my kitchen in my bed
your choice feels like Im
forcing you to sit close
to look at me
blankly.

But it's in that mode
When I try I guess any 
type of stress, any
missed feeling I
find my self kneeling at
your whim (that I imagine for you).

But
it's a blank stare because
you can tell the moment that
I'm not there.
I look for your potential 
dissatisfaction 
so that I can be perfectly adaptable
Easy to be with
Etc.

I don't want to 
tell you how I really feel.
If something bothers me
I let it sink in
Rather than float to the top
For you to
See

addendum:
constantly enraged against the machine that I believe tells me to be 
agreeable, careful, prim, pragmatic, wary, 
I do most of the work.
