February 22, 2002

unspoken (for TL)

we talk a lot but say little
although we both lie left of middle
why fiddle
with the delicate balance
that would certainly be challenged
by the unabashed honesty we avoid like nemesis...
we make no promises
for we be doubting thomases
not of each other, but of our selves

we find it hard to communicate what we feel,
there is no love poetry for the anxiety that kills
the fleeting seconds of closeness that still
the weeping of two fragmented hearts so filled
with desire to be healed
in this union.

there is no romantic way to relay fear
so we remain delayed here
silent souls on pause
trying to defy natures laws:
every effect has its cause
and change is inevitable
a fact that is hardly forgettable
so why fix our mouths to say this is indelible

regrettable as all this is
we do have these moments that shine
with a radiance so devine
that we think about god more...or at least along the lines
of a higher power or truth that defines
all this uncertainty
thats hurting we

how can i even speak for the both of us
when we are scared to discuss
anything that matters much?

somethings are better left unsaid
and some questions better left unasked
so our love stays masked
behind the muted morass

we call our love...but i forgot, even that remains unspoken.
