i give up.

i'll give you what you want.

i'll stay quiet, and accept what's being handed to me..take what i can get. i'll follow your script--the one you so neatly outlined on my walls, so i couldn't escape. i'll divert my gaze away from yours, watching the criss-cross pattern of the tile instead of noticing the glare you can't help but send my way. i'll write, for you, all the answers on a clean sheet of paper, then i'll stand in silence and turn to the door..

i'll give you what you want.

i give up.

you were meant for so much more. we get what we're destined for. and its not a case of khattey angoor if we let go of what we dont get as something that was simply not destined for us.

i only wish someone-anyone-could know what i mean. not assume. know.
