I loathe myself for asking
Are we settling too far?
Have we become too comfortable?
It doesn't feel like us
It doesn't feel the same
It doesn't feel like anything
It's such a shame
Will you stay by my side?
Will you disappear?
Whatever you decide
Is fine with me my dear
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I need
Don't know what's best for me
Someone tell me please
We burn out smoke fills my lungs
Embers of doubt flicker in the dark
Rekindle this flame my dear
Illuminate my path from here
We barely talk anymore
It's been months since I felt your touch
We eat we sleep
We don't hear we don't think
We sleep and dream of better things
What we once had is lost
It seems love comes at a cost
What's worth more the sanctity of us
Or this fleeting need for something else
We made a promise to each other
Our lives are intertwined
How do we unwind
Twist ourselves back together
Fix the distance and the strain it puts on everything
The dust settles like snow
The darkness covers you
Smooth edges smothered and
Sharp edges broken with
The passing of time
Ravages everything
The smoke fills every corner of my lungs
Help me to breathe
I choke on the vapour and I come undone
Don't let me seethe
