through my fist to your arm

i'm told

we're not serious enough

that i'm too sarcastic

but isn't that what you wanted

isn't that what you liked about me when all this began

i'm told

that this is unhealthy

the way we immaturely act with each other

but if we both do it who's to say who is wrong

i like what we have

but after being

told

i now see what they were talking about

we've replaced serious conversation with sarcastic jabs

always gliding over the surface of a lingering issue neither of us really want to discuss

i punch you to let off the uneasiness and butterflies that creep in

because these feelings for you collide into one another inside me

and there's no place for them to go

but through my fist to your arm
