failed conversation.

we sit on this couch trying to stare into each otheres eyes

trying to find reasoning and understaing

im trying to find love

your trying to find hope

but we're not truly seeing each other

we're not looking eye to eye

the cool brown leather leaving a big space between us

we try to speak

try to find common ground

but your words are harsh

my mind distant and my heart sad

with each unknowingly angry word

i step farther from you

i step deeper into unforgiveness.

how is it that a mother and daughter can have such a lack of communication.
