May 2014
We broke up and we broke down
Running from all that we were really looking for.
You woke up and you looked down
On everything we stood for.
You crept from beneath squeaky windows looking in
Till you saw forms and shadows,
And so you pointed and shot.

But there are a galaxy of excuses
Some from beneath our pride, others from surfaces deeper.
There is a gallery of our frustrations
But you quietly let yourself in.
You see, everyone wants to be heard
And so I voiced out.
I opened a palm and opened the other.
But you never asked. You never saw.
You never once thought the other way.

But what if our fears were a farce?
What if our trouble was meant for something noble?
What if this hatred for each other and the dark consequences
were buried below?
What if our worries were left behind?

Oh god, what have we done.
We are leaving our things behind
We are leaving our sins behind.
We are slowly losing

This beautiful place
