We see each other
I reach to you; you to me
The glass between us is soundproof
But I can still see your beautiful lips scream,
And I know that I am the reason why.
These clothes are too cumbersome;
I am dragged to the ground by the weight on my shoulders
I can feel the metal digging into flesh
I want to break down this wall
I would rather be anywhere but here
Where everything is gray
Where my mind is clouded in both misery and sedatives
I want to be free again
I want us
I have become a prisoner
And you could not stop it from happening
Fate cannot be changed
You bring your hand up to meet mine
Until you realize you have to hold your own hand.

when you wallow in the past, the past is your future
dark days behind become dark days ahead
when those ghosts become your rulers
join them, because you're already dead

Slipping into what we once were.
I thought that we had parted,
Finally found each other within ourselves.
I prayed for an ending and wished for forever.
But I never thought that you'd come back around.

Arm in arm with your lover,
I whisk you off your feet now,
And we're falling and we're flying from this place.
And we're tossing
And we're turning
And it seems I'm quickly learning
That I cannot win
This never-ending
Chase.

And you're running
And I'm crawling
"I see those tears of laughter falling!"
You giggle as you turn and shut the door.
But if you look into my eyes dear,
You'll see no exclamation
As there is no joy,
Just sadness on this face.

I say
"I love you"
And you smile,
But I cry because I mean it.
No there's nothing I can do
To set us free.

Because I'm caught up in your eyes, love,
As you blush and turn them from me,
I know you saw some honesty
In that last glance.

Give me a chance.
Just kiss me once more
On the lips
Or brow
Or shoulder.
You whisper that you're nervous
But you do it all the same.

Give me a chance
To show you once more
Why never should you leave me
And I'll whisk you off your feet,
Falling, flying us away.

Give me a chance
To hold you longer,
Just a couple moments longer,
Before "arm in arm with your lover"
Is your permanent address.

Give me a chance
Because I love you
And you're running
But I'm crying
While we're falling,
We'll be flying,
As we're
Tossing
Turning
Slipping
Into what we always were.

We meet like fire and water, bursting into steam
swinging round each other, splitting at the seams
our slowly growing entropy, sees darkness before death
the energy, no sympathy, clutches its last breath.

You fall into my watering eyes,
through dance we somehow stabilise,
the swell between the crashes of the ocean,
the moments underneath the motion.

The stable explosion.
