Glisten, sparkle and breathe- your darkness brings the light which shines on me.
I'm fading and the waxing moon reveals daybreak and the light which blinds me.
These moments are fleeting, our silences are always dignified.
We both feel unburdened knowing that we've nothing left to hide.
Losing familiar and fading memories; times a test, or it's set to be.
Coursing through you, cascading towards me are sorrow, joy and nervous energy.
It was something I thought I'd lost; a vacuum that i couldn't fill.
And the harder I tried, the more I'd long.
You have something I thought I'd lost; a vacuum that I couldn't fill.
I gave up on love, but you proved me wrong.
I gave up on love, but you proved me wrong.
I abandoned hope, but you showed me warmth.
You risked so much, but it kept me strong.
I gave up on love, but you proved me wrong.

The Altar

You’ll see no light in my eyes
from this corner I’m painted into.
For years I’ve fought to avoid
this corner I’m painted into.
Time eats away and savages these dreams that I’m sure I had.
I’m captive to a droning song that’s already run for too long.
The vast bulk of this humble offering is surrendered on the altar.
We inherited these flaws; as they eat at me, I watch you drift away.
We inherited these flaws; whilst mine ate at me, I watched you sink away.
At night I had conviction, in the light we lost it all

Collapsing

As I approach the ending faster and faster,
I have so many questions left unanswered,
And I have so much more to give.
An act of unkindness outweighs the feeling of impending silence.
Through nights as poisoned lovers, oblivious to others;
Forget our loss as we decay.
I tried to reach you before I left here;
A failed final grasp at forgiveness, well I tried.
Although the time has passed now, the shadows never leave here.
Those nights were never forgotten, though we tried.

The best i can do is push my words to be kind, force myself from the lies; despite the futility, try.
I kicked away my own crutch to prove that i could stand, and I never learned so fast as I did when I lost that hand.
Having leaned upon this vice for far too long, how many times will I fail; how long must this go on?
Taking refuge and seeking comfort, with so much left unsaid.
Hiding in hubris, always defiant, a flood of pain left in my wake.

Salt Water

A door meets a door; so close yet so far.
Years go by and the wood stain fades.
The memories remain, at the start of each day; comforting.
A home is a home- no matter where your path leads.
Take the times with you; you’ll need them.
What am I to do?
The place you are is locked up tight.
I don’t know where to start,
I don't know where to start.
A hand meets the door; so close yet so far.
Years gone by but I still feel the same.
The memory remains, at the start of each day; comforting.

A Slow Counter

These interactions are always stilted; you have tirades in place of conversations.
The centre of the world lies beneath your feet.
The world we know is crumbling;
The fractures grow wider every day.
We try to freeze the ocean,
But the icy water draws us in.
And I can only bite my tongue and choke on what I should be saying before you turn, before I let you walk away.
The centre of the world still lies beneath your feet.
I'd long surrendered my right to know; still I demanded fellowship and answers.
Always a minute late; just a second short
Although I had the words, I'd never have the spotlight.
Ever a minute late or even just a second short.
Although I'd find the words, I'd always miss the moment.
