I don’t know what’s wrong with us
One moment our love flows freely
Uninhibited by the negativity around us
But something happens and the dam bursts
Stress overwhelms and fear takes over
Fight or flight replaces our love
Anger tears through our smiles
I’m crying and you’re angry
I’m scared to say anything
Too much stimuli and I explode
A yell turns into a shutdown
GET OUT
I fight and I fight and I just want it to stop
So I give up
I tuck tail and I walk away
What else can I do?
My heart hurts, there’s a pit in my stomach
I could flood the Sahara with my tears
So much conflict and disturbance
I’m still quaking
I’m hesitant to walk away so I’m waiting
I guess that makes me even more pathetic
To be so weak as to hold onto something
That pushes me away
I just want to stay
I want our love to flow freely
Our smiles to cut through the anger
To replace it with something better
