my muse my unspoken words our antithetical stories your charm your goodbye before the dawn
i traced the lines of our fate never aligned the red string woven around which seems too weak your presence lingers around me like a shadow
rain poured down before before we became alive before i let it out before i could hold on before you screamed it out i watched you being washed away from my shore
i watch the rain blurring edges of my side of the world as i wait for it to cleanse my wounds as i wait for it to blur my memory as i wait to let go
