Rain falls
A storm swirls around us
I’m caught in the web
Tangled up in you
~
If you knew how serene you looked
You’d never know the chill of tragedy
You’d never recover your ego
Flown off like a child’s balloon
~
Pressed into a mattress
Between the pages of a book
Tender like a lover
Innocent because we’re both just kids
~
I hold you in the comfort of closed doors
Four walls can’t hold it all in
In the moment, it could mean anything
And to me it meant everything
~
Now you’re faded into memory
Immortalized with gold tinged time
Did I awaken in you…
...the very thing you awakened in me?
