Two Words

                     Two Words


We spoke just two words Happy Thanksgiving  
Then the floodgates opened
Out poured the passion and pain  
Love and intimacy of a life
Once held together by a dream

Pedestals and regrets toppled over anxiety
Ridden with the past
The mind forever manipulating
The song of love with sour notes
Half steps on the scale of
Untold fantasies and betrayal  


Sweet words of tradition
Like themselves so familiar to each other
And still the unspoken sound
I love you
Echoed in the distance

For even today
This day of thanks  
With nowhere to look except
In the face of honesty  
I still love you and
Struggle to make forgiveness my friend
