That night the stars aligned
You forgot to catch them
As we gazed into each others eyes
Lost in this benign affection
Your eyes filled my heart
With whispered empty promises
My decisions leaving you baffled
As the pouring rain in your door step
There are so many beautiful things in the world
Yet we only have two hands and one heart
How do I hold onto you without losing others
I looked for answers everywhere you went
I looked to see if you hid the answers from me
So you could have me as none other than your own
Naively forgetting how much you hurt me
With your beating heart you held me too tightly
Even when I couldn't catch my breath I loved you
I'm too slow too silent
Too, silently admitting to this
Things I never agreed to
Things I never knew to see
Things I never learnt to put away
The angels have fallen to sing
A solemn prose within
We hull our bloated carcass
Back into the sea
At first it seems
Like a pretty dream
Till truth surfaces
Realization dawns
How heavy was the dream
What was its cost
That dream was as pretty
As it was expensive
The daily turmoil
Was what I had to bear
The way I paid
For that incandescent dream
My eyes were coal laced stones
Your stare cold and harsh
We thought fate could change us
We believed in true love
Till true colors were revealed
Then was when we saw it all
We realized love was a facade
We had an epiphany of life
The distraught wishes we made
Nothing but empty shells
Souls not in their original home
The agony of being buried in your own grave
The terror of losing those you've not lost
The melancholy of being different the odd
We lost our direction and our compass
Leaving our minds to wander the darkness
Trembling alone in this turmoil of anguish
The pain the fear the endless disasters
