In the beginning
There was a boy
And one day
He met a girl
Little did he know
This girl
Will change
Everything

Was it love?
Lust?
Or just someone to talk too?
I don't think either of them knew
But there was one undeniable fact
They were attracted to each other
Like magnets

Their only thought
Was to be with one another
And that's what they did
And when they were together
Everything was quiet
No worries

As life does best
Complications arouse
And they could not be anymore
To this day
That boy and girl
Wonder
If there was some sort of lesson
To be learned
Or was it just a waste of time
Maybe one day
They will figure it out
But till then
It will always be remembered as
The invisible amount of time

she watches the boy
with green eyes
nursing his drink
sadness
meeting peace
when he looks up

a cigarette smoldering
between his *******
and the one he uses
when he wants to say
he's okay

god
he slurs

and you're not sure
and he's not sure
if he's talking to his reflection
in the mirror
behind you
or if he's
trying to reach an empty
grey sky

pour him
some more
burning gold
steady his hand
when he raises
the glass
with the imprint
of his silent lips
and smile
without
expecting him to give you one

god
he says again
i'm ******

and you deduce
that he must
be talking to the sky
beyond this ceiling
weighed down
with mood lighting
capturing the shadows
of lovers
becoming friends
and friends becoming lovers

aren't we all?

he smiles
finally
sardonically
wisely
he's given in
to the ignorance
he supposes
you have

let's go home.

the
emptiness
in his weighted touch
at the small of your back
shatters
like the glass
that falls
from his hand

You are amazingly beautiful.
And so **** ****
Seeing you today
Drove me crazy
The animal inside
Began to remember
The animal you were
And you're so **** ****
