Something has to give
By peril_notion
Looking up I saw your eyes meet mine
But then they flickered nervously away
Always with that flickering away...
"You are so far away," you said
Couldn't be further from the truth
I am right here with you, struggling
To keep this heat shield in order
But you keep pelting it with trinkets
Of comfortable, confused affection
And I can't tell if you're struggling
To reach to top of the snowpack
Or burrowing further under while
Turning everything I feel inward
While everything I say becomes
Remote and contrived, like my own eyes
As they meet yours in that other place
You are more than the sum of your parts
Your lovely pouts and touching words
Build deeply on who I've come to be
Something has got to give here
Everything has got a melting point

indeed all things have a boiling point, not excepting an iced over heart laced through with fear. superficiality serves as a macho man front to disguise a very fragile interior.
