So there it is
The words that can’t be taken back
Said for all the world to hear
Clearly pronounced
Spoken with sincerity
Laced with conviction
Shock follows
Just as it was intended
Like the impact of a slap
Now we face each other
Uncomfortable silence
Permeating the space between
Our lives hinged
On whatever thoughts you have
And what is said next
