Can't,want,need..How?

by Beth - Scorpio

Taking back those words
and taking back the tears
Is like trying to find a glimmer
in a star that no longer shines
Between where you are and 
where I stand
blows a hot and angry wind
all the anger, hurt and confusion
just falling to the ground between us
wanting to span the great divide
but I fear the bridge has been burnt
paths overgrown with weeds
no rope on which to swing across

looking for a detour
off this lonely road
trying to find the exit
that will bring you home
Staring at the anger
you left hanging in the air
I know you feel it
that same deep regret
all it took was just a word
and our tapestry unspun
It would only take two words
to patch it up again

but I am stubborn
to a fault

and your foolish pride
won't 
allow 
it.
