Solace you seek

Chattering voices
Hammer at my brow
Bickering rivals
In endless bitter row

Conflicting views
To stay or to go
To love or to leave
To say yes or cry no

Imagined responses
To arguments not made
What ifs of harrowing hurt
To statements unsaid

Resolution remote
Cross our unspoken divide
Courage gathered to try
Now tempted to hide

Enter the fray
Start talking your mind
Explain how you feel
Gentle, forthright and kind

Dappled light
Enters mild and meek
Fleeting taste of
The solace you seek
