there were times
the days cut into us
the weeks attacked us
angry, stark, terrifying
and we clung to each other
desperately
we had no one else
we needed each other
with intensity
no one else understood
the bare fear and emptiness
as we stood trembling
and torn
yet triumphant still
we stood
with the boldness of knowing
that each other knew
the knowledge that
someone understands
makes you invincible
so we rode
on the intensity
of the moment
it was was all we knew
but now
what happens
when the pain recedes
the intensity calms
and life is even
dull
monotonous
no need to cling
the storm has gone
and we see
i see
clearly
it's no longer a fight to survive
playing fiercely within the storm
moving simply to find ground
we can move on
quietly
the future spreads ahead of us
smooth
a blank canvas
there is room for joy
lightness
fun
routine
boredom
but in the vastness
the lightness of it all
the ties that bound us together
unravel
and fly away |
