Let's Talk

Let’s just talk…

And put to bed all the screaming

To each other we would never

But to the hate we stay intimately connected

To the outside eyes it’s seeming

And to the taste of our unsweetened home

It pours like black coffee

With spoonfuls of our sugarless drone

It’s become our latest meaning

If we could just talk…

Without the seasoning of disdain

God sees all

He hears the listening we don’t allow

The way we’ve slowed to a crawl

The kind words we no longer entertain

You scream

I scream

We bristle at the mention of each other’s name

When we’ve not the energy to breathe

No longer do we even know how

This was not His idea of cleave

Loyal to not a single vow

I wish we could just talk…

Having traveled that barren road

Exploring every alternate route

Navigating without direction

It’s just so much easier

To find a reason to walk out

If only we could talk…

When nothing else works

When we no longer feel

When even the numbness still hurts

Still

Maybe we can just talk

Peacefully and unrehearsed

Civilized without the scripted lies

For the few times it seems a little better

When we can no longer endure the worst

I just want to talk…

It’s you

It’s me

It’s not you it’s me

It’s us who should plainly see the roots of this lifeless tree

But before we cut this cord and run free

Before this becomes what it finally will be

Just one last time

Maybe we should just see…

If we

Can just find it in our hearts

To go back to the start

And just talk
