The Death of Love
This poem is a conversation between two people. The colors represent the person in the relationship who is speaking:
One night the storm came back to claim me as its own
I don't know who you are, but take me home
Away from this ghost town I'm circling in my mind
And I've tried painting in the toxic sunny skies
I know it's a mess, but we can try
Picking up every piece of us I left behind
And I know we've been running in circles the past few years
But I just can't seem to let it go
Please don't let me go
Tonight I'll make the high tide raise you from the depths
Of despair long gone, and when there's nothing left
We'll forget the bloodshed and you'll be on your way
Don't you dare tell me to leave, I'm already gone
Lost in the graveyard you call your heart
I'm the ghost of a woman I'm wishing I could be
And I know we've been running in circles the past few years
But I don't really think it's right
Please, just let it go
I'm holding my last breath waiting for you
Your reflection is coming in clearer
But I'm sick of choking on your fire and flame
And as I drift away, I am finally free
