The Day Has Passed
Scottie Allman © 2009

This day has passed without the chance
To hear you speak
Without a businesslike voice
Because you want to avoid the pressure
Of my declaration to you

You do not wish to speak
Of the slightest chance to try
To salvage our marriage
And resurrect our love

So I maintain my resolve
To show you my heart
By abiding by your request
Not to speak of such
