THE WALLS DON'T TALK

I wish
i had someone,
to argue with.

the walls,promise:
peace.
they merely suffocate you,
with silence.

i want to have
a living-
person.

one, i will never own.

one, who can argue
with me
and, help me
feel:
real.

silence, makes me feel
divisible.
many parts of a badly crafted:
puzzle.

do i even exist?

Hello

Especially like the last stanza.

silence, makes me feel
divisible.
many parts of a badly crafted:
puzzle.

Nothing I see need to change

It is nice to have someone to

It is nice to have someone to argue with compared to the peace of being alone. In some ways that peace is no peace at all.
