Standing Face To Face

One thousand voices scream your name
While you slowly fall away
Drifting wearily away from me
Unsure of what to say

Silent whispers from the shadows
Speak stories of no lies
Telling the truth we don't want to hear
But we see it before our eyes

My heart is void of love
For all I fell is pain
You still remain here
But nothings the same

The memories eat away my mind
Refusing to let go
Gripping with sincerity
Telling us what we already know

Can't you hear me calling
Repeating what I won't say
Hanging on to letting go
And then we walk away

Precious tears released
From eyes with silver lining
Each one tells a secret story
Of each heartbreak their defining

Footprints in the sand
Disappear with waves on the shore
Never taking shape
Of how they were before

Disappearing to black shadows
Streams trickle on with time
Harder than ever to let go
And leave everything behind

Running from reality
Accepting the unaccepted
Both deceived through lies
And pain of being rejected

So we painfully stand in silence
Unaware of growing space
Turned away from each other
While standing face to face...
