She spent her lifetime talking at him
He spent their marriage listening back
But in the end,
the endless words
just weren’t enough
To reverse their fade to black
Communication’s overrated
No solution to the mess
Extra grease won’t solve the problem
When the gears aren’t made to mesh
Sometimes all the talking in the world
Won’t work the problem out
Kumbayah while holding hands
Just ain’t what it’s about
She left their home in desperation
He’d never understand
Her hopes and dreams
had drifted far
From anything they’d planned
Communication’s overrated
No solution to the mess
endless words, still not enough
and sometimes more is less
Sometimes all the talking in the world
Won’t make the problems fade
Ever after is always there,
Whether happily or not
They did their best to talk it over
Made a plan to talk it through
Mend it, patch it, make it fit
Bridge the gulf ‘tween me and you
But in the end, there’s just an ending
It is what it will be
lead stays lead, no glint nor glimmer
no magic alchemy
