    just something i wrote up while i was thinking alot
    i liked it alot though

    ============================

    Our breaths become stale with the absence of word
    The energy around us is a direct contrast to the mute manner in which we sit
    Providing the room with a prominent feeling that somethings occured
    And building us up to seem both natural, awkward, and hard to forget

    The empty expressions upon us give outsiders the impression of hostility
    Yet within our consious state were both aware that all is fine but amiss
    The self contradiciting thoughts within our heads play the part of the antagonist of our abilty:
    The abiliy to speak, hear, and see;
    all shot down by the complicating simpleness of our anti-blis

    We both recognize the ever expanding trouble of our communications, but we are blurred;
    Shrouded behind society's rights and wrongs, along with our personal intentions and desires
    It seems that silence, being the easiest solution to our problem, has taken the place as the action perfered
    And yet we both rest side by side, frantically searching for an alternative before time expires

    Neither of us wish to be the leader of the situation so we wait, hoping the other will take that place
    We're neither foolish nor naive and we both know that if a move is not put to action soon, all will be lost in the rising fog
    But we continue in this manner, until the time is reached where we must depart in our own ways at our own pace
    Stubern? - maybe
    Confused? - probably
    Disatisfied? - defiantly
    Hurt, broken, and helpless? - Undeniable

    Setting off into the world alone, pretending were satisfied, but wearing a regret such as a heavy fur.
    Both giving one discrete look over the shoulder as to catch the glimpse of the others shadow
    Then shaking it off, not wanting to look weak.
    Weakness is our only weakness

    If I tried to say in words what I think this means, I'd ruin it completely. But inside, I feel as if I understand what message you're trying to get across.
    This is really, really good.
    I like it.

    thats really how i felt when i wrote it. It just all came out and then when id try to explain it to people i just couldnt do it.

    but basically its 2 people sitting sitting in a place (specifially a restaurant) they sit in silence, but around them is so lots of action. To some looking at it, it may just seem like a normal evening out but to those who look deeper can see the struggle.

    the 2 people both want to be together but dont. (self contradicting thoughts)
    and its so complicated its led us to full comunication failure

    they both realize they need to talk and resolve the struggle. Societys rights and wrongs being the gender roles of life. Its always up for the guy to lead situations like this, or at least it feels this way to me. But because of gender roles, along with their own complications, its led them both to remain silent even though they know it will kill them

    People hate being leaders. Following is easier. And same in this situation. Both are waiting for the other to say something. And they know they need to just deal with it and say something but they just cant seem to do it. Eventually they will have to leave because a closing of the place (restaurant). They didnt get waht they wanted out of this meeting. They solved nothing. And it annoys them.

    They walk away, never to see eachother again. They try to look over their shoulder to see the other walking away, but they dont want to appear weak. Neither wants to look like they need the other, even though they both know its true. But to appear weak is such a hard thing to get over. Its what has driven this relationship apart. Weakness was the only weakness.


    So to make it alot shorter...
    Relationship failed > Both still want to be together > but they cant solve the differences > because neither wants to appear weak and in need > so they walk away from each other regretting but its to hard to try something else.
