The Year of Our Discontent

Just wrote this.


Oh and though you are breaking me
I just can’t let go
You received all my longing
I took all the stories you told
The spring was a year ago
And I think I knew you then
But the winter is cold and long
It’s made strangers of us and all that we’ve known

Beneath my smile I hid the defiance I never did show
Beneath your words the complication you wanted me to know
But those webs are always invisible
We had no idea of the trap until caught in something tangible
A push and shove of impatience and reality
A two way street shut down indefinitely
With one way in, one way out
We crashed head on and headlights glared
Showed us the imperfections we always knew were there
As I worried about your heart we found who really cares
You found I really care
