When sentiments run high and misunderstanding abound

When anger seeps in and frustrations pull me down

When love seems lost and there is no answer to be found

I wish we could talk

When you don’t seem to understand and niether do I

When expectations in the air make it difficult to breathe

When the easiest way out is to leave

I wish we could talk

When egos clash and the past blinds

When small remarks hurt like pine 

When we both want to stop, but keep going on

I wish we could talk

I walk alone, wishing you were there

I move on, step by step, don’t know where

I chose to be silent 

When all I ever wanted to do is talk.
