Amanda Sullivan Poet Couplet

You and Me

You and me 
Such a divine sound in a deaf world 
Where not a soul is left to whisper a word 
Its been ages since I’ve felt the sun on my face 
Is there a sun? 
Hard to tell in such a dark place 
Where the air is thin 
And the walls are closing in 
Comforted by hopelessness and hopelessness alone 
You and me, just a thought lost long ago. 

You and me 
Haha brings a smile on these cement lips 
And yet tears at the seams of former rips 
Easily torn, in a place that’s made me far from strong 
You and me, smiles don’t last long. 

You and me 
Forgotten who we are 
Yet we still remember these old scars 
I know where im at but I still feel lost 
You and me, such a hopeless cause. 

You and me 
The only thing left 
The only thing I’ve always kept 
The only thing that stands when everything else bends 
The only thing yet to end. 

So wipe those tears, don’t let them see you cry 
You and me, we’ll be alright 
We always do last the night.
