If you liked me, why didn’t you do anything about it?
Why am I waiting for the clock to strike 3:30 with a sense of dread
Why is it when we walk into my sanctuary, do I feel so uncomfortable
The uncomfortable continues as my skates dig into my ankles
And your skates clomp onto the roller rink floor like Death’s stead
Here we are, you trying diligently to stay up right
As I skate circles around you
Is this how it feels to you?
For you to trip chasing me as I effortlessly slide past you?
For me to seemingly not care about your efforts?
I start my circle and the trashy pop music starts to melt into my ears
The black light carpet follows my circle and I feel good
Until it is time to take your sweaty hand
And dance the macabre
I so wish to circle again
To watch from a distance your baby deer walking-for-the-first-time excuse for roller skating
But I am locked to you, hand in hand
I so desperately wish to skate freely
To skate so fast I either fall down or burn a hole into the rink
To be able to blaze away this feeling of nervousness and stillness
To be able to do my own thing
To be able to not have a thing
With you
To be able to not be held still
To be able to just be friends
I believe that is what I am feeling
