Do You?

The walls are crumbling

And the foundation is cracked

But let’s establish something, shall we,

Of how anything more

Just isn’t meant to be.

 

Or is it?

 

I don’t know,

No, no, no!

I can’t take not knowing,

I need to know why,

And what you mean,

Refusing to look me in the eye.

 

I never love you more

Than when you’re speaking in riddles,

But all I want now

Are a few clear words.

Is there anything there?

You and I both know

There’s more left to say:

Is there a year for us?

Is there a day?

 

You were always everything

I was too scared to be

Stuck in my own world,

Detached from reality.

My loose ends are in your hands

I just wish you would tie them

And end our love of war toward the other:

When I put my arms around you

I fight to let go.

 

I’m dying to let you know

What I feel if I could just get the words out,

‘Cause those four letters

Aren’t enough for us.

Let’s make a new word

And keep it a secret,

We’ll carry it inside

Until we get the chance

To loose what we’ve been hiding

And fight off what they all said

We couldn’t do…

 

Well I do,

Do you?

Oh this is perfect. I've been in similar situations twice (or at least I think it's similar if I'm reading you correctly) and it seems you've put my emotions into words that I never could. I love the line "I never love you more/than when you're talking in riddles." It's so true. Subtlety is the best thing in the world... to a point. I hope everything works out for you and it's good to see that you can let your emotions out in such a constructive and poetic manner. Good luck with everything!

My favorite part was "let's make a new word and keep it a secret." Sometimes the four letters are said too much out of duty without any meaning.
