And you were all emotion- screaming
And I anger- throwing shouting
No reason here just a logical pain
Because I didn’t hear you and you couldn’t hear me.
And we danced and danced again.
Begging to be heard, asking to be held
Waiting for the confusion this pain to ease
Trying to ride the storm
Hoping to stare down hell
Not knowing if we could
Nor being certain if it was worth the pain.
Feeling as though in this world no one understood or cared
Or that if they did they might still turn away
Or confront with burning rebuke, or abuse with disregard or scorn
Leaving us bleeding abandoned by the road like broken fools.
Humiliated and crushed filled with shame and despair.
Like those who just aren’t good enough
Because we just aren’t good enough
