A moment of silence for fear and regret
Crossing the line just to get your feet wet
Jaded apologies with a wink of an eye
A breath of compassion with an awkward sigh
You don’t know what it is you’re looking to claim
Perhaps just a dose of a little of the same
You stop when you feel you have gone too far
When you feel the pain of the breaking scar
A typical laugh and the standard wave goodbye
Your eyes have spoken fear we cannot deny
A moment of silence for what could have been
Crossing the line and calling it an unforgivable sin
Jaded memories that we have both let slip away
A breath of regret and we don’t know what to say
We haven’t determined what we are trying to find
Perhaps just a dose of compassion from a familiar mind
We stop when we feel we could hurt more than ourselves
When the feelings can only be written and hidden on shelves
A typical laugh and our sheepish wave goodbye
My eyes are shut tight and in them I cry…
