No Feelings, Pardons Or Sins
Real feelings.
Those niceties! Those smiles! Fake words to cover the long, lonely journey of miles!
Glass eyes - trying to be warmer but trying in vein!
Flow through, dinner and drinks.
Polite sounds hiding real feelings and real - still real raw pain.
Talk, talk, talk - with no feelings, pardons or sins.
Soft sounds - not prepared to breach the dam wall and let the real talk begin!
Tension, slowly building as the barriers begin to weaken and fall!
A hug signifies the evenings end. Warm clothes cover cold bodies trying to pretend that there is no malice or ill feeling here at all.
Drive home. Analyse the evening from the start to the end!
Hidden meanings, snubs, sharp stares and smiles through fury at full bend.
Misinterpretation - why did he have to say that?
Slow ride - why does it take so long to get back?
Reflection - stand in quiet and look deep in your eyes. Another wall - to protect the truth with your lies.
