you touched me
YOU TOUCHED ME
you were playing the game
and i only tried
to play along too.
you were playing with me
and i only tried
to guess at the rules
to escape them
to push.
you were playing
and i only tried
not to freeze
not to show i was clueless
not to cry.
you weren't kind, were you?
and i only tried
to imagine a world in which you were kind
to me.
