I see you there in front of me
Your face your hands your eyes
I hear you talk I hear you speak
Your hopes your dreams your lies

I walk with you a sunlight trail
Together hand in hand
Then twilight came and you were gone
And now alone I stand

The woods are cold and the trees are black
And dark is closing in
And you have gone away from me
Your faultless light has dimmed

Betrayal is an empty space
A raw night cold room alone
And no one can redeem your face
Sweet knight safe light you’re gone

You lift your voice and I lift mine
Two bright ribbons intertwine
I hear the pulse, I feel the beat
We hang as one we’re complete
Duels are not for one but two and no one else for me but you

-Kalah

And if you ever showed back up in my life
I’d crumble all over again
The fractured pieces of my heart would indeed this time break
All the cuts and wounds I closed up would be unmended
All those memories I buried with alcohol and cheap cigars would some how unravel and surface the scene
The long nights I stayed up crying over you would play like our favourite song in my head
Over and over like a stuck record
But I’d unfurl and open up to you
I’d give myself without hesitation
To be hurt again
Bruised
Empty
Vulnerable
Just to feel the love you never returned
