tripping

There is a wall between us
Of unspoken words and
Lost embraces
And lonely walks home
And doubting hearts
And defensive ones too
And teary nights spent
All alone
Of surface conversations
And unspoken accusations
And this stupid game
In which we’re now inclined
to play.
And its pushing a wedge
So far between us
So lets make a deal
A despondent compromise
I’ll let down my defenses
You calm your fears
No more absent phone calls
No more hasty conclusions
Lets take things slow
As in the original plan
This time
Lets drift slowly into love
Instead of tripping
