I don’t want to apologize. Like I have in the past For coming close to a breaking point with you Where I almost speak my mind But refuse to do so, realizing that if I acknowledge The shallowness of this relationship I will never be able to return to this place Of blissful ignorance Where we float by, month after month You, happy, and I happy enough As long as I choose not to think. Mundanity poisons our minds And threatens to keep us sedated In our blissful ignorance Because that’s exactly what This has become to you and I. A place of familiarity, Which offers no outlet for expansion. We have limited this love To a mere coexistence Where we smile and laugh Enjoying the ease of life and each other’s presence And if that is not somehow wrong, Why do I feel so empty?

Speak Easy
I don’t want to apologize. Like I have in the past For coming close to a breaking point with you Where I almost speak my mind But refuse to do so, realizing that if I acknowledge The shallowness of this relationship I will never be able to return to this place Of blissful ignorance Where we float by, month after month You, happy, and I happy enough As long as I choose not to think. Mundanity poisons our minds And threatens to keep us sedated In our blissful ignorance Because that’s exactly what This has become to you and I. A place of familiarity, Which offers no outlet for expansion. We have limited this love To a mere coexistence Where we smile and laugh Enjoying the ease of life and each other’s presence And if that is not somehow wrong, Why do I feel so empty?
