For all the places we’ll never enter.

For all the places we’ll never enter

All the corners kept dark

For all the truths buried and hidden

The white lies remain stark

For all the anger not talked about hereafter

The pain and hurt hung in the air 

For all the places we shy away from 

Our ties are beginning to wear

For all the tears and blood shed often

The loud voices carry into the night 

For all the questions that linger longer

It’s the start of another fight 

You say I am a burden to you

That the person I am is not enough 

For all these words you sent to me

Just know that I’ve had enough

For the relationship now tattered

Broken, beaten, and bruised

For all the places you’ve left us for 

I can’t help but feel used 

I want to understand, but I won't apologize

It’s a place I have yet to venture into

A place I can’t yet realize

For all the places we’ll never enter 

Haunted and filled with hope

I only wish you the very best

But that alone is a 

Slippery

                 Steep

                                    Slope.
