Where do we stand.
Side by side we stand.
Back against the wall, selves against the world.
or at least against them. Only us.
Hands gripped upon sheets and pillows
passionate, forever-ish brushes painting our portrait.
Slowly in motion amongst the fast paced.
or maybe, moving to fast for oursleves.
Back to back we stand.
hand in mine, mind & mind alike
souls seem so similar, the match not often found
Four lettered words so often said when many tell us to leave at three.
So close you are, woven into the culture of me.
What's yours is mine & mine is yours
and you are mine.
Lost in this, bliss, that knows no wall or time.
A dollar past dozens of dimes
worth the effort spent.
Knowing neither of us is alone in this.
World where more crash than connect, we brace eachother for impact.
Face to face we stand
Studying, staring, speaking, hoping
that when reality shifts
we'll still be meant to exist. This.
Countless hours counted, your voice the numbers.
or counting cell minutes, thank god for the fav 5. lol.
Eyes,
lost deep in yours and you in mine
sharing more than words, and thoughts, and silence.
until.
Something slips, and we collapse to the abyss
then quick.
Pictures ripped, voices meant to forget
filled with "you ain't shit"
and the uncaring "whatever bitch"quick.
reality shifts, and we don't....
Far apart we stand
with millions of voices in between
where ours use to be
you and me.
Leaving nothing but memories meant to be missed
choosing not remember what you can never forget.
Friends between sides, "spoils of war"as long as they don't remind me....
ours is a cold war, with warm thoughts.
Lives are legendary, a story they tell to newlyweds.
& then they ask what I ask
once the wounds have healed
& the wall is torn down & we both remember how
nice our names sound
when said by the other
& after I use to love h.e.r
at this point with no place, unknown to us
once forgiven, then what?
admit this type of thing is tough.
where then
Do we stand?
