Blinding / FadingThe flicker of a flame

The flicker of a flame
Hesitation in a voice
Intentions all the same
Yet a different choice

Who knows what goes inside
The thoughts that lead to this
It's not like reasons hide
Just another case of miss

Understanding takes a thought
Emotions throwing fuel
Words so easily caught
From talking to a duel

The light has dimmed some more
Yet nobody will tell
I attempt an open door
A whisper, not a yell

It's not about who's right
Or even who is left
Pain so plain in sight
Let's not become bereft

And talk.
