Words Flow

Words flow back and forth

A chess game in review

You can’t checkmate on your first move

Give and take is broken

When you settle into a groove

And ignore

What is said

For 

What you want

What you need

What you desire

What you hope

Time does not fix broken hearts

Love does not lead you astray

You can’t simply take and not give

You can’t wash your feelings away

Words flow back and forth

I am talking to myself

You listen but don’t really hear

Only mutter on and on

Feeling betrayal 

When you broke my heart

Time and again

For 

What you want

What you need

What you desire

What you hope
