in an attempt to understand the meaning of us
i often ponder the day to day
words and looks
you're careless and caring
detached and dependent
my life

when did we get so secure
that it was too real to handle
when did i look in the wrong direction
and miss that you weren't
looking back at me...

our worlds are collapsing
around us
and all you can do is run
find shelter in a bottle
until the tears are no longer
held back by this dam of
self damnation
you created in your head

you aren't the monster
that hides under my bed
but of late
i feel as though there is an
elephant in the room
waiting for the chance to
destroy a years work

i close my eyes often
and play back your voice in my head
remember the smellsightsound
of us
two empty kids filling themselves with
more more more
of each other

and i hide it well
and i refuse to cry
because my heart isn't broken
its full of us
full of these dreams we share at 3am
after a night of silence
and a life of misfortune
