talking through clentched fists and teeth

your dry eyes just stare
at the blank screen
"its all gone", you say
i'm not sure what you mean
in total silence
we both start dreaming
thoughts and hopes
to stop this feeling
so real, so very
close to you
so much, too much
to pretend its not true

and i'll never know
what you thought you knew
because the words you said
never passed through
your tightly balled fists
and your clenched teeth
never allowing me see
what was underneath

the hit approaches
aimed right at my face
i take you in my arms
you struggle in my embrace
slowly you calm down
i still hold you tight
together we just stand
broken in the night
this isn't what we want
there can't just be this
but then i lost all thought
when you hit me with kiss

and i'll never know
what you thought you knew
because the words you said
never passed through
your slightly sweaty hands
and your pressed lips
we'll close our eyes to reality
until it finally slips...
