How Quickly

How quickly will my heart break I'm sure you vowed no length too great But here we are in separate rooms Upset about what the other assumes I reach out, tell you all the things That can stop the rot and downward swings You'd said to tell you, how we'll always fix this But you don't want to hear, prefer abyss Any word or move I make Seems again to agitate I'll give it time Redress my mind See if it's me that's out of line But it's a lonely road to wander Isolated, all choices ponder Wonder how it would be to thrive To converse and feel alive Instead of this functional chat Then be blamed for this and ignore that I don't know what comes first Feeling bad or feeling worse There's no direction I can go I need to think, take it slow All your promises seem to have eroded Replaced by field of mines, all unexploded No safe path for me to tread So I'm closing down, thoughts embed Shut it out, just exist Does anyone really want this?

You capture the in between moments so well Dilly, our internal thoughts struggling and overwhelming us to try find a resolution, these moments can seem like an eternity, but usually pass and sort themselves out, you are such a deep thinker, cheers David

Thanks David, it's true it probably wouldn't have been all that memorable if I hadn't written it down - the moment(s) have passed now and it's the weekend :) hopefully onwards and upwards
