Tell Me Something

Tell me something --
something I shouldn't know.
Don't waste my time now --
I can't take that from you.

To act so proper
feels a bit like a sin.
How can you small-talk me
when you know where we've been?

I've tried and tried
to walk away
and maybe will someday.

So, what happened
to the intimacy?
We used to make love;
now you won't look at me!

Tell me what I did
so I can make it right.
If you deny me,
then I'm leaving tonight!

I've tried and tried
to walk away
and maybe will someday.

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
