What happens when we talk

by clare

What happens when we talk? I know what you want to hear And I know what you want not There comes a slippery slope Words go down the drain They evade any meaning Yet, they sound the same... My dearest, when we talk To you, I open my heart There's love, hope and joy That every soul has sought But these words, my lifelong bane They evade any meaning Yet, they sound the same... Hear me, when we talk My silences are wrought To say much in less than thought How our lives seem so choked With words that play their game They evade any meaning Yet, they sound the same.
