when

Am I supposed to explain myself when I don't even understand?
I'm a mess.
And the clothes on the floor
and the empty cups on the dresser
are where they were last week.
And the week before that.
And the week before that.

I breathe and I choke
I believe that I can't
I want what I won't
And I'm starting to dislike negative contractions
And talking about us
Maybe all I know is how to be a contradiction
But I can't deny what I feel
For you or for me

Maybe you are my contradiction
And that is the root of all this
Can a contradiction live in peace?
Maybe in my mind. Maybe not in yours

When do I and me
Become we, become us?
