A lesson in subtlety

You can't hold it in your breath
Not for a second, oh! forget till death.

You will say it when you feel it,
Not think about it even for a little bit.

You will not wait till kingdom come,
Blow after blow till I am numb.

You need everything now,
My love, you are indifferent and how.

You love me you tell me,
You hate me and you could kill me.

You say that you care,
Question that, I wouldn't dare.

You have blocked me out and in and out,
And now I have my doubts.

You are driving me away, so far away, 
Oh Darling! subtlety was just never your forte.

P.S.: I have since forever now needed a lesson in subtlety. That's where this piece finds its inspiration from, not to mention the pop culture lyrics and Rihanna,and Christina Perri, and Adele and yes, I think I am 15 again. Just for a while.

Truce?

We have been bleeding for some time
And it hasn’t been worth a dime
Sure, we each defended our turf
But forgot we were on the same side

I want to call for truce
It’s time to close the wounds
Why are we at war -
What are we in a fray for?
