the bleeding heart of the conversation   that began with ordinary words   but we define and verbalize    these awkward feelings   and gestures fly across your face   they illustrate what we already understand   emotions are demanding    when there's no room for change      how we are so contemplative   used to self-consultation   our words in the car debating   never worked so hard to say   it bores me   you put me right in my place   shut down in many ways    i didn't understand   emotions are demanding    but there's no room for change      critical eyes always looking inside    for movement    on the spot   if we can't move a lot    we might push it   critical eyes always blurring the lines    when we move them    put on the spot    if we can't move a lot    we might push it
