It's our last chance at joy
At watching stars scrape the sky
In a dance of beauty
A dance of solitary smiles
And forgotten secrecy
Scared because we haven't stopped running
Since leaving home a lifetime ago
Scared because we aren't going to forget
What we tried so hard not to remember
Scared because I have scars
Lined up in stories along my feet
which walked miles past the destination
In hopes to feel something more real than you ever were to me
Because it wasn't love
It never was
And we left because we were afraid of falling deeper
Scared because it's our last chance of living
Before we end up dying
In eachothers hurting arms
beside waves which slapped you in the face
We are scared of turning into sand along the shore
Which will never make glass rainbows across your room
Because you won't get a chance to see them
If it doesn't work out.
