Talking to you is like
braiding my hair.
On some days,
I just don't want to do it.
On some days, I realize
it's the only thing that
sets my face right.
But, every time I attempt,
it takes away parts of my hair,
just like our conversation
takes away a lot of me.
Also, it always leaves behind
more tangles, for me to sort
on another day.
