I now know what it feels like when you know things are breaking.
Like an avalanche thats just about to give way;
A wave just before it comes crashing down.
It feels like missing a step as your foot falls too far.
And for a second your heart drops;
Your heart stops.
And everything falls.

Either way we are going to end up as strangers.
Either way everything is going to come falling down.
Because maybe we went to far to turn back now.
This was a one way street in the direction of tragedy.
And we missed the turn off.
So we travel down this empty road, kissing the broken parts of ourselves.
We thought that kisses could mend our broken fragments;

But it seems that only mothers have the power to kiss away pain.
