settling

i close my eyes
and imagine
that i have the strength
to let you know

i feel guilty
putting you on trial
without telling you
that the jury's
close to a
decision

i feel so wrong
with or without you near me

i'm not old enough
to be settling yet

but i feel like an old
house ... creaking
with every movement

settling with each
step you take

i close my eyes
and wish
for an earthquake

but all i get is you
