frozen.

and then there are the times when everything you try to do to save people just hurts them worse. intentions apparently are not what they seem to be. so now i struggle with the evidence that anything that begins with the base intention to make hurt go away... will serve just to hurt them even more.
and so i remain in limbo... too scared to make a move in either direction... because maybe if i make all my intentions go away and don't move at all... that will be the only way to not hurt anyone more.

like a cartoon frozen in some bizarre shape where nothing moves but its shifting eyes, knowing that if it moves a muscle anywhere else on its body, more of the tense strings connected to the rest of world will snap and let relationships down. but the shifting eyes can't help but see the damage they've already caused.

and even that seems to leave the rest fuming and/or bleeding.
