Mended Souls

A grey night, dreary.

You're the only golden ray.

I sit and watch you.

Your lips moving slowly, silently, precisely.

You don't make a sound as you sing into the night.

We feel it in our tears.

We feel it in the bass.

 

Your heart beaing faster,

Then slow

Every passing moment.

.Forgetting who and where we are.

Who we have to go back to.

Forgetting we were never supposed to be holding eachother.

Forgetting we were never supposed to be this weak.

 

Your lips stop moving.

I see your breath.

I know it hurts so bad to breathe this in.

It hurts to feel the truth.

As we lay in eachother's arms

We realize we're this weak.

And we're supposed to be here.

 

The song stops playing.

You finally look down.

A smile spreads across your lips.

And you're not hiding anymore.

Your eyes flash brightly.

You finally let me in.

The next song plays.

 

We hold eachother tighter.

And we laugh.

No more scars.

No more tears.

No more anxiety.
