Natural Disaster

Hands clasped feet resting in the sink
Windowed by silence, I hadn't seen you for so long
You said, 'Stop being so dramatic'
A state of drunkenness, lines in a play have we rehearsed this?
Understanding, a conversation without words
This cracked and broken feeling was inevitable
I hate to be speechless at a moment like this
You are compassion, I am overdramatic
Unintentional, I try to communicate telepathically
I wonder if you ever hear my voice
I know things never work out right

I remember kissing on the back porch drinking wine
Backs to moist grass in the park
Stars buried in the city sky
Make words bigger than my life
Empty promises like skeletons
Reflections of myself
It never burns away
Truth comes spilling out
What this is all about
I've convinced myself I didn't know what to say
