I don't know what else to say
or how to break the silence
Bridge the distance between us
I have been more honest
than I'm used to being
but still
not honest enough
Aware that my aggression was misplaced
I put the pressure where it belongs
The responsibility at the feet of the one
who has the power to control
I usually take the credit
I usually take the blame
Afraid the fragile back and ego
cannot bear such weight
That pressure will lead to leaving
and my love will be left unfulfilled
But I can no longer live
with fear as my soulmate
Repression is not a galant companion
