In A Glance We Said It

The world seems so lonely, when you’re broken

So many ways, it seems, to get knocked down

So many words and thoughts, left unspoken

Conversations made, without a sound

*

I see you look away, as I approach you

I remember days, with open arms

Lost inside a memory, consumed by Deja Vue

Moments entangled in your charms

*

Those weekend getaways we'd take together

Stealing a kiss or two

Hiding neath the covers, in stormy weather

Scratched the surface, of the things we'd do

*

No words were needed, to show affection

A simple touch spoke things, a tongue can't say

Somehow, we forgot, or lost direction

How that connection fade away

*

You sigh, as million thoughts, run through my body

I cry, but you don't see at all

The ways we care for us, has become shoddy

We loved the game, now we're both AWOL

*

We pass in the hall, just brushing elbows

you text, "I'm late, I'll see you later, tonight"

I scream in the shower, to hear my echo

Anything to keep from starting a fight

*

The silence is enough to drive you crazy

The TV, fills a void, we just can't fill

I remember last minute dates, and handpicked daisy's

Now, it's working late, and time to kill

*

I listen to you talking on your cell phone

You leave the room, mouthing, it's for work

I sit here in the quiet, feeling alone

When you come in all smiles, I only smirk

*

You take the guest room, as your last choice

Sleeping side by side, seems hard to bare

Conversations best, with more than one voice

Living our lives as an au pair

*

The sunshine beckons through the window

The breeze calls out, come, take me in

Yet, here we sit, both stuck in limbo

Reflecting on what could have been

*

I clear my throat, to seek attention

The ice clinks in the drink you pour

You've made plans, you failed to mention

I wonder silently, if we're done for

*

The sizzle of the chicken, calls you

A serving size, and you take a seat

The silence lingers like it's taboo

You finish fast, and then, retreat

*

I hear you laughing from the bedroom

Making excuses to keep me out

The smiles we wear, nothing but costumes

Things I suppose, we should talk about

*

But unspoken remains

As our lips remain sealed

From reconnection, refrain

And affections repealed

*

Though neither of us have said it

The hurt aptly, says it all

Distances are comprehended

Though we both continue with our withdrawal

*

The thing that we don't want to talk about

Yes, we don't want to talk about us

Whispers along with shouts, muted

We refuse, at all costs, to fuss

*

Sometimes when we see, through fresh eyes

And find, there is no joy around

We see what is concealed though we've tried

Nothing familiar to be found

*

The fight is gone, we let it die

The right and wrong, let it subside

*

The only sounds now, that fill the air

Are the sighs of better days

Living separately, together

Has become normal these days

*

But I hold on to the laughter

Of the days I hope return

The new that might come after

Living lessons, that we can learn

*

The sights and sounds of honest

And plans for better days

The healing that comes from promise

That togetherness conveys

*

That look that tells me everything

I'll ever need to know

The retying of our heartstrings

Because your being told me so

*

Sometimes the words unsaid, aren't needed

Just be sure you make it clear

You heart answers to mine, pleading

Because it's your heart that I hear
