Please Don't Make Me Hurt You

[PrttyBrd]

The look in your eyes has changedA slow, steady metamorphosisYour gaze lingers where it should never beYour smile tries to cover nervous eyesEyes that betray the truthA truth that dare not be revealedYet, remains barely hiddenBeneath the guise of friendshipNeither place nor time could change what isNo desire to strayNo desire for causing undue painOnce calm and easyNow unsettling, nerve wrackingDon't say the wordsLet the friendship remain, as all will passDon't do it, begs a silent screaming mindAs in slow motion, it beginsThe heart sinks as time seems to freezeInterrupted by circumstancesSighs of relief, and sighs of disappointmentOpposite sides of stressAwkwardness and the inevitableHave been avoided thus farShould it be ignoredOr should the wounds be salted by honesty
