Lock it up or lock it in
rusty metals scourging in
picked up keys on man-made holes
wounded sick by secrets untold
a moment for hope —
pressed thumb to index as a gray unfold
to forge a heart — beating to haste
but walls, never seem to faze
nerves on high as bodies slip in
perfect spins won’t cause an “in”
count to ten means one and ten
pulling drawback — faint, cheer retreat
About the Creator
The Grace of Reciprocity
The only unspoken understanding now is this: if you ignore me, I absolutely won't bother you. This isn't about being competitive or indifferent; it's about acknowledging the most basic truth of adulthood: relationships must be mutual, not sustained by stubbornness.
