love as gestalt

oh, girl, 

what can you do

when your boyfriend 

is mad at you?

you can be demanding 

you can be demure

you can say you're sorry

and even thought you're sure

it's kinda not your fault

and when he stays silent

a move subtle yet bold

you hold your breath 

feel yourself growing old

though times seems to have come to a halt

he's stares at you intently

reading your face

a skill he's quite good at

so you blank that space

love as gestalt

girl, let me tell you, 

there's naught you can do

when your man

is mad at you.
