Irrelevant

Screencap from Into Darkness

I do not understand his decision.
I thought he would need only myself.

Am I so insignificant, unimportant?
Why must he play these games?

My disapproval would seem obvious.
But he ignores it completely.

Using his usual brand of humor, and levity.
His confidence brimming to the point of arrogance.

I must cease this level of emotionalism.
It will be my undoing.

But, this woman between us, a stranger.
I feel separated from him, now, literally.

Like a wall, I cannot climb over.
A shield I cannot penetrate.

Control, I need to control.
For she is irrelevant.
