Crystalline tears
that never really fall
They hide, shimmering silver, just behind her lids.
He sees his reflection,
multiplied in iridescent triangles
But she denies the sorrow, not quite hidden, not really gone.
She breathes him in,
denies all fears and tears,
She just keeps whispering fractured reassurances.
When he’s away from her,
he sees the poem she left behind
Now he’s scared, he’s terrfied, he’s afraid for her crumbling mind.
And she lies alone
inside a home that’s much to cold
She wishes for his prescence, just a single glimpse.
He waits for her,
wonders if she’ll ever call,
A black and empty screen haunts his fitful dreams as he dozes off.
She wishes she could call
but unwilling Fates refuse to remove the wall
And she lies alone and tries so hard not to cry
Alone, he sits
with tear-and-blood-stained melodies in his ears
He floats on the rythmns and wonders if she can stay strong.
A flashing blade
keeps invading her mind,
but she shakes it away, screams at it to go away, she can’t give in.
He’s counting down
every single second that remains
Until he can finally hold her again, finally wipe away her tears.
She’s fighting so hard,
using every weapon and shield she can
To stop the demons from tarnishing her heart and soul beyond recognition.
They both lie alone,
they both wonder about the other,
as she hides her tears and he hides his fears.
