A couple years from now where will we be? Sometimes I am scared to wait and see New methods elude us though we try to grow Future seems darker than feathers of a crow A far distance up to go for us to make it to the top The higher you are the further you drop Emerged from the rubble before Must dig my way out of debris once more I am not a warrior Only worn-out Too hoarse to whisper-much less shout The end of suffering I worry not ever will come Too many months spent looking constantly glum I remember eternity when it was a dream Presently the idea of forever makes me want to scream My companion you may be Compare I cannot We are too contrasting Or so I have been taught Our pieces fit together where nobody else's will Empty spaces designed for your parts to fill No matter how long failing to stoke flames Embers keep burning stubbornly just the same When left in rain our circuits don't rust Corners of our minds know not one speck of dust Forgiveness holds me with heavy chain Through blackest nights in place I remain Every bone in body craves rest Fueled by loyalty Carry on hard-pressed Remnants of tarnished moments tie heart in knots Euphoria fossilized in nostalgic thoughts How I yearn to restore the sparkle in your eye Glistening with teardrops No glimmer when dry Serene silence had now flooded with fear Cry for intimacy no longer living here I sense freedom is your secret desire Your software too complex to rewire "I love you" Simply a promise you were fated to break Asleep dream of the happy ending we'll never have awake How could chemistry feel so right yet turn out to be so wrong? Maybe below surface you were a stranger all along...
