There she is Sitting in the corner of her room In the dark of the night Staring into nothing There he is Broken as it sounds In the dark of the night His words empty Two beautiful souls Swimming in the void Killing each other slowly With love and affection All he ever wants To see his lover smile All because of him Not of the past All she ever wants To be happy as she ever be But possible is not Dragged by her past They hang on to each other Them against the whole universe They are drowning, slowly Anchored by their expectations He was the most selfless being She was the most carefree soul Now they were no longer those Only the cocoon of their former selves

Drowning
There she is Sitting in the corner of her room In the dark of the night Staring into nothing There he is Broken as it sounds In the dark of the night His words empty Two beautiful souls Swimming in the void Killing each other slowly With love and affection All he ever wants To see his lover smile All because of him Not of the past All she ever wants To be happy as she ever be But possible is not Dragged by her past They hang on to each other Them against the whole universe They are drowning, slowly Anchored by their expectations He was the most selfless being She was the most carefree soul Now they were no longer those Only the cocoon of their former selves
A story of a sinking, unsalvagable relationship between a man and a woman with a mountain of expectation and a whole different world of reality. She had a past. He sees a future. They clashed, killing them slowly. Yet, none of them are willing to leave. They love each other too much, and are now holding on to their sinking ship
