What's Harder Than This

She's worried about him He knows she is the time that's passed-- the stuff he did She would do anything for him He would do the same for her but both would never admit defeat They could withstand almost anything, but can they survive deceit? He feels guilty She knows he does and she will make him pay He will grovel She will stay Now they're feeling empty with nowhere to go but down They can't make it like it was Love can't save them now He stopped talking She shut down: just a cold and lackluster stare Hugs-- harder than the dirt between them He loves her and wanted to stay She shrugged him aside She pushed him away This was too large to handle too late to try Problems too big for him or I We let them ferment-- the arguments and such The fussing The fighting It was all too much She kissed him one last time touched his face; to remember how it felt.
