Wind is thumping the window
Wishing it could carry us away
Night flames flicker in the small apartment
Our pictures hanging in frames
A cup of warm sugar is in my hand
The other in yours half empty as is
We just don't care
Talking away our cares

Hiding under the covers
Why can't we have a sweater for two
Heart to heart is all that we swear to be true
And if you want you can cry through the night
I'll say just as much as you'd like

Where are the good old times
When we weren't feeling this old
The time bomb in our heads is about to explode
And what we'll feel a moment from now, we don't know
If it is this unpredictable how can some still say: "enjoy!"
The smell of candied wax in our lungs,
Our eyes filled with a sense of trust.

"In your eyes can I hide?" I ask
I laughed it off like I always do, I put on my careless mask
Your warm smile lights up the dark
Blood runs in my numb heart at the sight
If this was the night we died, wouldn't be so bad, right?

I hold you closer and closer
Why can't we have a sweater for two
Your gaze warm as the rising sun, tears start to move
You look at me like it's your fault, I don't wanna do this to you
I realize the pain is forever here to stay
Once you've had enough, there's only one way:
One becomes two, two becomes one
It's the way it's always been in my heart.

It's crazy, don't you think so?
I thought I'd grow old with you,
Walk down new streets with you
But it all went to nothing.

Might've been something I did
But I didn't wanna let you go like that
You closed the door in my face in the winter sunset
Now I'm in the darkness you said I led you into.

When the talking was done
I felt the coldest touch
I knew was the last I was gonna see of you
Never do you know what the future will do
A decade just flashed by in seconds, I knew
This was the last I'm gonna see of you

No more driving down the road
I'll never walk you home again
I won't see you grow since you wanted it to end
You won't see me shine but I'm not afraid of that

Could've been something you did
When you thought in a few words it could be ended.

Roses darling can't compare
To the scent you leave.
When come close to me
I can see the brightest red, who can resist ?
Anything like this a ten

Now my hold my hand,
In the night we tread.
Roads aligned with stars and love
When it's just the two of us
It's all magic and it's all lust.

Just a step more and it gleams,
The sight of it leaves us weak
Beauty like this is something you can't speak
It's a secret garden under golden gates
With guitars and love song serenades

Slow down,
If we only had right now
Would you still keep me on the sidelines?
Slow down,
Whenever I try I freeze.
The way you made me feels like
My wound won't heal.
The prejudice I set against myself is exhausting
My hope flies by and I can't seem to look at the sky,
I don't know why.

Maybe if you slow down
I can figure this out
Maybe, if you slow down
I'll say my forever goodbye.

A knife so sharp it makes you feel nothing
A love so strong you can't seem to think about nothing
When I'm ripped to pieces you like to measure up,
And take my freedom away.
The bruises that paint my sky will always chase you
I'll tell you that even if it's the last word
That comes out my mouth.

Fireplace cracks the silence
We're done taking nonsense.
In the dead of night,
Sitting tensely cross-legged
On the same stained couch,
I'm about to leave now.

The wheels roll down the pavement
No one follows, only the sound of rain trickles
And I know deep down
This place isn't safe to stay anymore.

Dark street lights almost made me trip
My head is empty but the feelings are killing me
I've solved the image you made of me
Now there's nothing left of what you thought of me
But I knew in my soul it was time to let go

The new page is left open.
The book is in my hand now
And the pen was stolen from you.
Skyler H 10h
I'm not good with words,
All I do is try
I'm stuck with my feelings,
Can't seem to get them out
My head is in a never-ending fight
I'm tripping over what I got
Pulling the rope from both sides,
I hope I don't lose it while
I still got you
I know I don't own you
And you don't own me.

You're all I can see
All I want to know,
A living masterpiece
A sight to behold.
My priceless lover,
Will you be forever?

You're my treasure,
Head to toe
Sweetest thing the world has known
Each moment is a diamond with you
Let's run away without no shoes
And as the water reflects our holding hands,
As the breeze and night light washes us clean
I'll let you know, my only one, my one gem
You're the one I'm here for, no one else.

Hear the candle popping as it's burning
Slightest glow on the kitchen table
Tired faces lit with sorrow circle the room
Then the shared pains follow
A room with memories left behind
Empty looks watching an empty house
Once every full moon
We share each other's light
But that's all just in my mind

Photobook of moments
Burned into our conscience
We speak without words
Our looks say more than enough
We know when it's been raining on us for a bit too long
And we keep company when it's hard to hold on
If we got the chance wouldn't choose anyone else
We both feel the storm just the same
But i don't know how that works
It's all just in my head

Wondering what it's like
Always with family
A word that's hard to define
Brings so much joy or pain
A sweet relief you won't escape
Or burning hell you wish to erase?
When it's just you
You don't know what to know
Is it really destiny
Is that really family?
