Chests rise and fall Hearts exchange in each others eyes Whispers leap into gaping ears A hand gestures a new idea Body presses closer in acceptance. One more whisper leaps- But lands with a pound Bruising the sound of a pleasantry A **** back. A blank stare. A tight jaw. Exclamation points, capital letters etch across the mind. A desperation for distance, seperation, withdrawal. Assemble a new language to be decoded. A worry, A curiousity, Voices dance in irregular beats. Then seize. Clasp. Waltz.

Misunderstanding
Chests rise and fall Hearts exchange in each others eyes Whispers leap into gaping ears A hand gestures a new idea Body presses closer in acceptance. One more whisper leaps- But lands with a pound Bruising the sound of a pleasantry A **** back. A blank stare. A tight jaw. Exclamation points, capital letters etch across the mind. A desperation for distance, seperation, withdrawal. Assemble a new language to be decoded. A worry, A curiousity, Voices dance in irregular beats. Then seize. Clasp. Waltz.
