I guess in the end
She didn't have to say anything at all
I just knew
She had suffered more than she deserved

I am trying
To breathe
When it doesn't hurt
I want to forget you
And remember you at the same time
Tears have taken residence in my eyes
My heart has sent distress signals
I don my Sunday best and head to the confessional
All this grief equates to at least a drop of liquor
I still haven't figured out why I treat myself
To celebrate the passing day
How I got out of bed and made it out
Or mourn that every confession is about you
Even when it's not
And I don't want you to be gone
Yet so much a part of me anymore
My head spins
My smile remains
And I order
Pour it all in my name
The night is almost over
I must end it as the sinner
I have a confession to go to in the morning
I drink for the unjust way she left me
I drink for it's all I have left
I sit stone cold sober
And I tell the priest
That I think Icarus died
With the sun
Still clenched in his palms

How strange is this world
Where happiness comes hand in hand with sorrow
Yet my breath is at ease
Everything is okay
My heart is uncomfortably content
I am the faithful cup bearer
In silence
I complain
Your name does not pass my lips
Tell me who could I tell
About what I felt within a day
My heart is a worshipper
And love is my confession
A destination I was not meant reach
My hand captured the night
But the day was bound to rise
I was lost
But now I am here
I am my own hope
These dark clouds are the poetry I see in the sky
Every chapter I turn of this book
I wonder
If maybe we have
Spilt our tears over the same page?

Take me with you
Where your dreams lie
My world is where you are
Take me with you
I belong by your side
Come back
Let's sit on the porch
Watch the moon and stars twinkle
I will half this life of mine with yours
Every breath I take will be a short drag
So you can share
And when the morning comes
We'll share every ray of the sun
This time
I'll make sure to follow you
So when the shade comes
I'll be in it with you too
