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
