Until the Façade Comes Down (Free verse) by TLRufener
For some things there are no words
There is no way to explain what we feel
Nothing we can do to make things better
We only desire the past
A past that we can no longer achieve
We stepped too far beyond that day
Everything has changed between us
Nothing more can be said
As we have already spoken too much
I have told you what is in my heart
And you have spoken what is in yours
You are content on the outside
I have erected a grand façade
As sturdy as it may appear, it is weak
One glance, one whisper, one smile
Will send it crashing to the ground
You have heard all I can speak
But there is so much more to be said
Without the strength to speak it
We are here in this exact second
And we shall stay until the façade comes down
