Watching You From a Distance – Written Wednesday 20th December 2006 (Aged 31)

Watching You From a Distance

watching you from a distance
gives me the perspective
which i have always desired
watching you scrabble around
in a trough of half baked truths
gives me the closure
which i have always desired
there’s a dullness to your language
a look of polish underneath
it has all the security,
of gleaming white teeth
after criticising my communication skills
it is yours,
which in fact are lacking
watching you from a distance
it gives me the answers i need
i am watching you search for a plaster
as you continue to bleed




James Garratt – Wednesday 20th December 2006
