Key to Harmony

Shall we speak? 

Or do shall we sit and wallow 

In the tension 

This silence brings 

Lost for words 

Tongues cut out 

Can't speak so it seems 

This love cracking 

Crackling

Breaking at the seams

Pride muted and stole 

Words that would provide relief

And brought us out this hole 

Yet we whole-heartedly remain

Lip locked, tongued tied 

Basting in anger and grief 

Fuming and fuelling 

The distance and tension we create

If only we were, brave

And bold enough to rise up

And utter the feelings we harbour 

Before they consume us 

And we begin to hate each other 

Will we speak?  

Or will we sit and wallow 

In the silence

Increasing this tension 

Wedged in between two hearts

Who swore never to drifted apart

Tongue-tied 

Jaw locked shut 

If only feelings were communicated 

We would be lost in each other 

Not trying to escape every place

That draws us together 

In an effort to find peace
