They told me time would fly
I wish it did but it won't
Flat out refuses to go by with ease
As I'm paralyzed by yesterday
it seems like yesterday- just then?
Can't be, but still I remember all of it
too well for my own convenience.
Stark memories of us frozen in life
I think we're laughing but then rain
-tears?- blurs our old photograph
so that we might be fighting
or you might be leaving.
We're both sad. Both crying. And
I don't understand it. We were just stupid
with stupid minds and stupid misconceptions
of faith & loyalty & commitment & love
Ah- love. We never said the word aloud
but it was there and it was glowing
and we both knew it. We both saw and heard it
We believed it & wanted it so badly.
But fate was cruel. I was cruel and
you were cruel and we were wild and mad
and we loved every second of it- together
Hah, I thought that meant forever
But everyone knows cliché never happens
in 'real' life, whatever that's supposed to mean
Opposed to a fake life?
That must have been what we were living
A world of lies, a mere dream
with nightmarish consequences.
Huh. Bet you never thought of that.
Bet you never thought about anything.
Its sad to watch an intelligent man
make such stupid errors
Reason and logic mean nothing, absolutely nothing
when emotions flow through your blood
Don't you just love being human?
So, here we are
with out choices to make
hearts to bend and promises to break
Or... perhaps we extend our hands to each other
Call it peace, truce, dare I even say friendship?
Because like broken glass or shattered porcelain
Add a touch of glue
And we might just mend.
