"She sits in his lap, she's feeling lonely, nothing serious, she just wants sympathy, company,
then she realizes that though she hasn't said a word, he's sensed her sadness and is irked,
feels that she's inflicting, as she always does, he seems to think, her misery on him
so she tells herself not to be so needy anymore, for now, though, she just wants to leave,
except she can't, she knows that if he suspects he's let her down he'll be more irritated still,
and so she stays, feeling dumb and out of place, and heavy, heavier, like a load of stone."
-C.K. Williams
