Boom
Blinds rattle
Hearts break

Boom
Wild winds buffeting
Hearts mend

Boom
The sky splits open
Hearts shatter

Boom
Silence in the streets
Broken hearts don't mend

Boom*
The gates of heaven close
Only time can heal

Brother 
Memories forged by the steady stream 
of Time, crinkles by your eyes and 
Teardrops down your chin. 
It all went back to that rubber band--
Remember your shocked face when
it missed its mark, how my face stung--
Literally, before you stumbled and then 
(I think it was that moment you sung)
Straight into my heart with your laughing eyes
, and that corner of your mouth that never 
seemed to lift quite as much. I realise, 
Just how deeply you sank your white anchor
Into my black unforgiving sea. 

And now it has come the time 
Of war, of demons, of pain. 
And brother, watch me repay you--dime
By dime. I do not forget the saints.
And so long as I shall live, I 
Promise, the demons that wrought 
carnage upon your soul shall die.
I will be your haven, just as you've taught
Me, once upon a time.

She saw no stars,
no fiery orbs of heavenly light. 
She saw the twinkles in the sky,
glitter in the black pupils she knew of 
--shining shaded thoughts

She saw no moon,
no kind mister smiling silver.
She saw the faint crescent of a 
Shadowed smirk and raised brows
--she tried to forget

She saw no rainbows,
no bright colours, no *** of gold.
She saw how the sun loved 
the rain it was made to oppose, she saw
--a girl she used to know

She saw rivers but they were of tears,
And flowers but they wilted fast,
And fruits but all they did, was bind her to 
The hell that was her past.

She thought of how they all said:
It's okay, he can't get to you anymore, 
It's gonna be safe darling, he's not gonna escape,
You'll be fine, I promise. 
And she laughed a laugh that spoke of shattered promises and 
a scarred existence. 
They were wrong, she knew. 
He would never go away however much she bled, 
However much she sat on her bed and waited
For the darkness to come, but it never did.
So she bled--

Like how he had made her bleed once before.

Why, why did you choose that
Path, were you sick of being haunted by the
Demons of your past? Or did you
Just decide one day that it wouldn't
Make a difference
If you were gone? 
Maybe you were right. 
Maybe the world does keep on spinning.
Maybe you didn't rock the world
But what you did. What YOU did--
Did you know every time you
Smiled a little piece me fell 
Into chaos?
Did you know every time you spoke you
Distracted me from the words that never would
Leave? 
Did you know when you jumped that
I would fall along with you?
Maybe you did. 

But don't worry baby,
I'm coming for you.

I'll be rising out of the sea
--you'll worship me
Hide your face beneath layers of 
Tranlucent glass 
(see through)

I won't be on the other
Side of the equation for once
You'll burn with the force of my
Heat do you remember How
You perfected it?
(I do)

I will live a life--
Regrets, hatred, love, laughter
And all you will
Be is one of the many thorns 
In the rose of my 
(Previous life)

I will break you
Piece by piece--dissected 
Every scratch, every nuance 
Of emotion you show
I'll use it against you
(I learned from the best) 

I will raise my head
Above the clouds because I 
Deserve to fly--higher than 
You and your platinum eyes
That never seen to smile
(Not once) 

One day, but not just yet.

Pull me down into your moonlit lakes and stormy penumbras in your brilliant eyes
Smother me with your petrichor and evanescant forever afters and a fleeting eternity
Tempt me with the galaxies in your orbiting existence and questions--questions and gossamer mysteries
Be my eloquence of my stutter, my elixir to my poison, my epiphany for my existence.
