Possession

The tale of romance
Tells how we remain entranced
Stubbornly, steadfast

Seeking some resolve
We remain and are losing
Sight of our own souls

History compels us
To remain in muted tones
Fragile pages tear

White gloves are needed
To handle the parchment
Pages of our lives

We cannot see where
To imagine a new place
So, we keep breathing

The facts and figures
Confound our realities
We should be grateful

We have each other
Our ways are so familiar
We know how to be
