Same room yet walls between us rise
Each with wounds entangled tight
Longing to speak the hopes inside
But words can't reach the other's side
One carries scars that years have etched
One holds regrets from youth unspent
Both wish the other could feel their softness
But words come out as binding vines
Not that we mean to hurt this way
Just trapped in our own games unable to break free
Standing in our own ground to speak
Can't hear the gentle sigh across the way
Too many years of misalignment and wait
Love and scars woven into one fate
Blood ties us close we know it's true
Yet emotional walls divide the two
You keep your pain I hold my grief
No villains here only fate's relief
Every argument cries to be seen
In the end only exhaustion remains
Try to let go of the judgments you keep
See that both wounds are equally tender and deep
No need to force forgiveness right now
Allow two hearts to slowly loosen then draw near
