Compromise

Silence now, nothing left to say
We've made it through our worst day
Bruised and hurt from blows we've taken
Truths to which we've finally awakened

We built so much on lies and deceit
Hidden who we are deep under our feet
Struggled, in vain, to keep them away
Finally out in the open to stay

Both of us lied to ourselves and each other
Fooled only ourselves, not one another
But here we are now, open and true
On either side of this line that we drew

Anger and Love, Hate and Desire
Eyes welling up, yet hearts on fire
Wondering in silence what to choose
Waiting to see who makes the first move

Killing the noise of the deafening silence
We reach for each other, resisting defiance
The only truth, we realize as our lips met
Is to choose love, and not regret.
