Lapse into distraction
Hinder with only a stuttering phrase
Break, broken, broke in so many ways
Our patience only frays
Retract into inaction
Wait for a word an opening, a missed chance
Wait, bait, then it becomes clear that its not your rate
Only an imitation hate
Possible continuations; limitations, insinuations
words crossed, patterns lost time in fair
It only happens there
Where a conversation is too much to share
Lie, you know it's true
So many others, just like you
Distinguished by scars and falls
Without that trying wouldn't have mattered at all
Lapse into memory
Silence dealt with alloted pains
Each word a plea for change
Each word a regret never made
Each line a memory to fade
Each sign something lost, something new, something made
Hinder with only a stuttering phrase
Break, broken, broke in so many ways
Our patience only frays
Retract into inaction
Wait for a word an opening, a missed chance
Wait, bait, then it becomes clear that its not your rate
Only an imitation hate
Possible continuations; limitations, insinuations
words crossed, patterns lost time in fair
It only happens there
Where a conversation is too much to share
Lie, you know it's true
So many others, just like you
Distinguished by scars and falls
Without that trying wouldn't have mattered at all
Lapse into memory
Silence dealt with alloted pains
Each word a plea for change
Each word a regret never made
Each line a memory to fade
Each sign something lost, something new, something made
