Beneath the truth
Rejective to the truths she tried to tell him
Mind absent?
Or defensive out on a limb
.
.
Please listen
No more pretension, allow convention
.
.
You sit and stare through vacant eyes
Life on hold, I await your replies
Do you understand what we are losing
Responding, why are you refusing
.
.
Your mind wandering like a nomad
Can you focus on what we once had
Why are you scared to open your heart
When we are close, I see your lips naturally part
Your words say I miss you so much
Your hands reaching for mine, a brief touch
.
.
Is this a blemish, a blot that can be mended
Unbelievingly that this is our life intended
I love you, your words do say
Can we rebuild, be us, not they (were)
Consent step forward and then deny
Concede, permit, it is ok to again, try
.
.
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve
Others keep it closed, opting to leave
Do you keep it hidden to avoid humiliation and rejection?
Please do not besmirch our lives affection
.
.
Show your beautiful and vulnerable heart.
I would have accepted it with a tender open heart.
.
.
I have combined a number of challenges. Enjoy the collaboration ❤️

Can I ask ? Is this fiction or is this you calling out to a love lost? I’m never sure so I hope you don’t mind that I ask.
