Consequences from Home Cinema by Emma Kupa

I was young and scared but I helped you out. I wish that I knew then what I know now. You told me about a movie you said I’d like. You could see right through me and you were right. If only I’d known how good it felt not to be scared all of the time but to be close to someone else is worth any consequences. I couldn’t even look at you and now you’re gone. I was too chickenshit to take you on. You used to come to my backdoor while I was washing up. I was so fucking awkward no wonder you gave up. If only I’d known how good it felt not to be scared all of the time but to be close to someone else is worth any consequences. I should have been braver now I see how rare you are and how weak I’ve been. If I had told you anything, anything at all, but I never did. If only I’d known how good it felt not to be scared all of the time but to be close to someone else is worth any consequences.
