Alone in our room
I hear him move in the next...
The pain between us infecting the air
With an eerie silence
Growing
To a sickening distance
Like a cancer on fire...
The friction now felt
Excruciating
Bloody
Left raw
Unlike the days it brought us to a peak
And watched sunset
Turn to black heaven studded with diamonds
In each others arms...
The dark now shared through a wall
Enough bad decisions enacted on the part of both
Leaving us now, so weakened
A mere fall seems to have left us
Torn apart
Hopelessly broken...
The ghost of our love
Floats around us,distantly
whispering in our ears
Of a potential that lost its way
Grown stagnant
Like a pond without an outlet
And no movement through the years.
With my heart I hold so tightly
To the wisp of once was there
But with my head I want to ease away gently
Afraid of the fragility of our souls
And how easily they tear..
If I hold on so fiercly
Yet terrified, to stay like this
Where I may never grow old..
I must to myself, also admit
I am engulfed mostly
By this ghost of our love
And my inability to let it go..
