The words are never the message
"I hate you" can mean "I love you"
"Go away" can mean "Hold me, Please?"

I like this poem. It demonstrates that a good writer needs but a few words to say so much.

Pretty damn good
I like the concise element to this poem. You've not used any more words then neccessary.Also I heartily agree with your comment about opposites. Like they say, for every action there is an equal and opposing reaction. That rule seems to encompass a lot of things.
Good write mate!

very honing of dishonoring or scared perhaps
one can feel inadequate or not feel the other wants the number line so can or it 'gets' 'testy but not desiring finish, or they may have a secret they could think would turn into a burden so has speech for one's departure or patch… which could bring up resentment until you reassure them. thus language may be a whirl of worry and not real words yet when facts aren't festering --
your x=y aspects to this has a nice feel of needing to turn the axes to understand sometimes,
often it's known to not make fun of love but the things in a life of it so therefore the complaints need to be repulled from misplaced bin so to speak possibly ~

My wife showed my the breakdown of words (7%) of meaning; Tone 930%) of meaning and body language being the rest. I rebelled; loving my words, thinking they should carry more weight. And as we sparred over the dichotomy, the truth became more obvious. But what I am describing here is the flawed way we often communicate; getting absolutely backwards. It isn't such a surprise when you think about it. You try a door knob. Twisting left doesn't work; so you twist right. Opposites. You push; nothing, so pull. again, an opposite. Trouble comes when you get stuck with the consequences of the first try.

deercatcher may I not be ignored without all those indices said here lol
ah, vocabulary/behavior but impressions can be gossip almost even right there between twoo not meeting but assumingyet we can't keep meandering for meaning we think. and yet how is a told filthy floor cleaned but by encouraging self sometimes not needing hard story, though can't lead entirely to bad is good tough love or toughest equality. oops my poem idea mixing in.
okay, carefully cordially
