Time stopped

The crashing sounds of our scream came to a halt
And echoed for what seemed to be a never ending pause

The loudest moment of silence

And I saw the glimmer in your eyes dim

And everything felt cold

My heart exploding
My eyes overflowing
My screams just going and going

All the while the voice inside telling me to just shut up
And as much as I wanted to
I just kept going and going
Why didn’t I just shut up

I know you were dying to yell that at me

I convince myself you're out to get me
Jabbing at me
Mocking me
Making fun of me

You stood quiet
And when I finally let you speak
You told me how your words or one word that offended me…was actually you trying to defend me

Time stopped

The crashing sound of my heart falling to the ground
The crashing sound of my silence falling down…to the ground

It still echoes in my mind

And I saw the glimmer in your eyes dim…die
And everything feels so cold

The glimmer is not enough to keep either one of us warm

But every time you look at me
Every time I look at you
I’m hoping to see…foolishly
That glimmer grow into a flame
Hoping that one of those looks will be a burning gaze
Burn to make my heart explode
Disintegrating our rage

But no
Never again
No more glimmers
No more flames
We lost this crazy battle
Battle of silliness
War of craziness
War of crazy passion

I forfeit
Only to find out you forfeited long before me

Time stopped for you and me
Our time stopped
I’m glad our screams have come to a halt
