Jan 2019
Its been two years since we
Two years since our glee
To think that the stars twinkled
To our synergy
During those late nights
Walking through love and passion
Saying goodbye to hate and aggression
Behind us they seemed to be
Now behind us is what used to be

I used to flood your rivers
And you grew mountains in me
And now our essence flows over
These lifeless landscapes
Where our love blossomed
Into red and orange
Mirroring the heat in the both of us

The fault in our scars
Is what we feared
And so the halt in our car was
Expected.
Rejected at first
Then accepted.

What do you tell the rain
When it has nowhere to pour
I mean that the grounds on which
Its purpose exist, aren’t there
At all.
Well you don’t. Tell it, that is,
That it’ll fall for infinite eternities.
That amnesty and dishonesty go
Brilliantly together.
So does the abstract and harmonies.

You simply live with yourself.
Knowing that 2 years ago
Life had life.
And now it must live again
