She spoke in a injured tone,
her words were "I'm alone"
her blurbs of monologue
were blurs of monochrome,
surging from the phone was hurt
there's something wrong, he heard and tried to calm but his words could not resolve or console
this withered and young soul as her feelings
just unfolds and deliberately unloads the silence
that symbolizes the distance they both owned
and piece by piece they lost something
that was once gold
This story was once told
inside of a pair of eyes,
owned by a woman who
no longer could bear to smile,
sheered by a man who
stood under his parents cries
and fell down those same stairs
becoming as paralyzed
she found that somewhere in time
the joy they once shared had died
and every high hope
was suddenly nowhere to be found
from the ground, she stared up at him
as he continued looking down,
and said it all without a sound
It's quite amazing
how much our natures have changed
and how our looks in the eye
no longer show what we made,
but more so the separation that lays
in between both our hearts that we once agreed
we would chain, and although we have lost
so much we gained, I find within the pain
an appreciation's retained,
I want you to know that until I'm laid
to rest I'll always be thankful that you came,
you made me a better person
even though I at first could only see just worse
when in actuality what was hidden behind
those curtains buried inside my hurting
was a needed lesson learned and
I admit that I earned it, and I will lift from this
certain that who I'm staring at in this mirror
has been refurbished,
i toss every sheet
that i held a grudge on in furnace,
I now understand why you looked at me
and your heart said
