What I will and will not tell you

Today, emerged a lot of questions

that arrived too late to even raise.

I’ve proudly committed my decisions;

I'd rather take off than take the blaze.

What amount of what I feel is worth feeling?

Of what we’re saying needs to be said?

Should I be denying or should I be dealing?

What pushes me to push it out of my head?

How were you and I related?

What level of “we” would we be rated?

And when you ask, I’ll half-heartedly explain,

“we are spirits strong enough to stand apart,”

but that lingering question will remain…

will strength fail if entangled in the heart?

I do not have more answers than him, but I better know the game.
And even if it is right, nothing can screen that initial pain.
