Someone stole the easy words   away from me and you   Stripped us bare of mindless talk   and left no I.O.U.   Naked conversations   Confusion laced with pain   Feelings not so easy to explain      But we talked for hours   hard words spilling from our lips   caress the air beyond a kiss   more real somehow   than any kiss I’d ever heard before      Someone stole the language gloves   the sterile words we choose   They took the one word answers   to a simple ‘how are you?’   Somone stole our safety net   the script we had to use   and we were scared of what was left to say      No clinical conditions   exist between us two   To act the part of strangers   now beyond what we can do   It comes as a surprise to find   some thieves are angels too   For someone stole the easy words   away from me and you
