We're even making the wall paper cringe!

"I believe you god damn it !"
I shout at the top of my voice,
roughly and finally you stop
going on and on and on and ....
well you get the point


You keep chewing my ear off.
Battering at my closed doors
my brain isn't open tonight,
call again; if you really have to,
just stop trying to pull up my shutters!


There is simply nothing there ok
no thoughts or feelings
I honestly have no opinion
on any of the matters which you
persist in throwing at me

...

All I want you to do is listen to me

just this once make a decision

good lord how hard is that to do?

arghhhh I can't stand the inevitable silence

that reaches me when I enter the room

I'm trying to let my guard down.

I really am, It's difficult you know.

I don't trust people, no not even you.

Why should that surprise you ?

You knew where I stood

I've never hidden my views

I'm out spoken and oh yeah I worry

so would you if you had to deal with a mute.

doesn't stop me loving you

even in the stony silence

...

A couple stand in the room.

just barely, almost plastered to opposite walls

Even the wall paper cringes
waiting for the explosion

for the high pitched screeching

the doors, the ceiling, every

compartment, nook cranny

seems to move around them

pushing them closer

to the point where it's now or never

where they say either

an infinite hello or a final goodbye

she seems to turn to leave

he holds his breath

both stop unable to believe

that this is the end

it's unhappy, it's a waste,

it's life, that they can't live without

one another passes

through both minds

that they can't live

with each other,

is obvious, ultimately

they both wish that neither

will turn around while

both want to run

to the opposite corners

and meet in the middle

co-exist somewhere between,

the happy and the sad

...

"don't leave me"

I whisper, "then love me"

you reply, but I always have

and you can see that by my eye

"then believe in me" you utter

then you say "and no more lies"
