Every word falling farther away
Such great laughter so seldom heard
The fire lit so quickly in the eyes
Voice so strained with anger
Phrase after phrase misunderstood
Emotions cluttered and judgement clouded
An ever more common feeling of distance
crave only to be left ignoring
Do you know your self or just your skin
The music distracting only to muffle the truth
Comfort given never to be returned
Colors and sounds only smothering, degrading
Power of self control rarely woven with
Forever reaching for balance
Hoping for understanding without judgement
Talk with meaning not raw unfiltered emotions
Trust given hopelessly before it is earned
Love fully explored before being found
Rolling swifty onto escaping slumber
