Poem
When we were younger Our hearts and hands had melded And brightened up a world Then in winter, came snowstorms And lightning, to burn up our shelter A dragon roaring proud So we were dashed, were broken A nasty scar formed upon the exit And bleeds unto this day Long after it was funny Here I am still singing like we're together It's nearly been three years Now when we were younger I felt just as strongly as I do now That my love was the right choice So you lash out, you slander You're winning, or showing me the best Do you feel like we do? A cold bucket of water Snaps me from my reverie A long and pleasant dream comes to an end My heart repeats its pounding From nasty anxiety It's like you never left this room at all And through it all Our rise and fall We both think that we're correct Or maybe we're just both projecting bright To say you're wrong Or say I'm wrong Our love's curdled to anger These effigies to what went wrong It's all gone wrong To you, I'm dead and gone and To me, it's filled with longing I can't really remember What it was like long ago This pounding in my chest feels like a dream A living nightmare I once Called my reality A true return to form from years ago It takes me back And paints it black And turns these fields to swamp And any love I had has gone to rot It's all gone wrong The world is wrong Such purity and lifelight Has curdled into something wrong This all feels wrong It's been so very long and Anxiety is strong and You're showing the world the best That you possibly can Such is the way all of our old haunts work So does it bother me when I can only see that lie? And fail to see foundations I once saw? You're just presenting anger Aimed to kill or maim I don't think you really care which happens You've only ever compared Those you ever loved to those Villains that you said tried to do you wrong So what's the deal? What do you feel? Was anything for real? Will you wreak this havoc upon the new guy? What did it mean? Was it a dream? All those things we left behind In order to witness another dawn? To carry on We'll carry on Under penalty of perjury I swear to you I'll carry on I'll carry on Even if these dreams haunt me forever I swear to all, I'll carry on.
