Walk the Line to Forever
Words are slightly spoken,
I can feel the tension.
Tonight won't end well
only in dissension.
I sit here waiting for you to drive up
praying things will quickly blow off.
But I open the door and you come in,
the silence never ceases to win.
Assumptions and questions fill my head
and as I reveal them,
you lower your head.
Denying everything with such a passion,
you see it in my eyes- I have no satisfaction.
My heart is beating
and it's getting harder to breathe.
I say aloud "I do not believe."
Through anger and ignorance,
you grab the keys to your car
walk past my family,
you plan on going far.
I find myself chasing
after your trail,
until I reach the driveway
and see you already set sail.
Hearing the door slam,
my heart stops beating
the sound of your screeching tires
make me feel like screaming.
I run past my parents
watching their faces fill with confusion,
enter my room
and suddenly feel my highest emotions.
With my face in a pillow
and my heart on my sleeve,
I feel as numb as a girl could ever be.
But soon the tears stop flowing,
and my anger calms down
I just lie there thoughtless
free of pain somehow.
I shut my eyes
and the next thing I know,
the morning arrived
but I still feel low.
Ring.
Your name appears on my phone.
You reassure me you've changed
but your voice is the same tone.
Through the cycles and the circles,
we just go round and round.
Still we always end
with the same loving sound.
This time is the last,
so take your chance now.
I'm starting a straight line
Can you try to walk it now?
