Reaching out
Hoping to feel her leaning in
So standing still
Seems like holding hands
Breathe it in, her air of everything
Only to breathe out
When shortness conquers strength
Stay the night
We'll make up stories come first light
Keep it all in
Afraid to know what's behind closed doors
Months have passed
Hell, you've finally changed the sheets
But she's still there
Drenched in darkness on the left
Find a way
To reason with silent rage
And bags unpacked
You find her reading, cased in glass
Speak your mind
Trembling words fall out your mouth
And she responds
Fast asleep in sheets of doubt
You're only left with leaving
Gasping, gagged-in air, you stumble home
Tie it off to stop the bleeding
And you carry on alone
