Dysfunctional

Of all the things we talked about, we spoke silences the best
The unnamed angers, jealousies and myriad affectations
became just another excuse for affection
and
in those moments somewhere, we discovered friendship
and mean words
and hurt each other with slanderbags
I pointed out your flaws when you laughed at mine
Our talks desperate for attention, loud, incompatible
we swim through each day, getting closer
pushing each other down.
