May 2017
And oh, when I want to slip
To fall off the edge
I'm begging for a reason to collapse
The broken cannot fix the broken,
Doesn't mean that we don't try
Because while mine are dim and dying,
I still try to feed the light inside your eyes

And even when neither of us can stand,
Hand in hand we still lean in and rise
Until the day you can walk away from me
Will I be able to walk my own way, too,
Or will I fall without you?

The blind cannot lead the blind,
They say the world won't work that way
If I'm no better than a husk,
A mirror to bounce back your love,
Then shall I live within the water,
Which reflects the moon, which reflects the sun,

How long does this last
Is this as good as we'll ever have?
Because it's not sustainable
It feels too good to hope

You're welcome to prove me wrong..
