For God’s sake, why are you so sad?<\/p>\n
It’s 10 o’clock in the morning!<\/p>\n
Did you hear what I said?<\/p>\n
My head is filled with words to sort out.<\/p>\n
I need time to hear you and to understand.<\/p>\n
Likes, tries, attempts<\/p>\n
Turn into patterns, routines and ruts.<\/p>\n
Don’t say it; I already know the words you will use.<\/p>\n
You’ve used them in a previous life –<\/p>\n
Over and over like the needle that bumps the end of the record.<\/p>\n
The song is done.<\/p>\n
Do the words mean something different in our 25th, 26th 28th year?<\/p>\n
We speak from separate places and hear from separate rooms.<\/p>\n
Past hurts are louder than your smile.<\/p>\n
