in each other's arms
smothered
in each other's doubt
we are imperfect
lost
in each other's eyes
wondering
what the other is thinking
we are in pain
struggling
in each other's hearts
frightened
by who we are
we are alone
the fear of exposing ourselves
steals the joy of what may be
the denial of emotional responsibility
slowly destroys all we desire
it's a lesson we never learn
