This one hit me in a different way--the woman trying to sell her face at the marketplace and the repetition of "Won't you come and get me when you're sure that you don't need me Then I stand outside your window & proudly call your name" Made me think of being driven out of relationships with people when you're expected to play a role that is smaller than who you are, just to keep the other person happy. They have a need you're supposed to satisfy more than you're supposed to be yourself--or feeling the burden of another's hopes on you so heavily that you can't enjoy yourself if you don't share their addiction to the relationship. You feel like a drug or a drug-dealer more than a partner or a friend. The author will happily take ownership over a relationship with someone who doesn't need him--maybe it's a fear of commitment, but maybe it's also the impossible expectations people have of relationships when they don't just let them be what they are and stay open to the complexity of what they are (and aren't). You can drown in other people's expectations |
