It has come to this

The utter
            Silence
Broken only by the reverberating
Beats of a dead
            Broken heart


I remember
We used to spend hours
On the phone
And spend hours
Looking for a phone
When it wasn't available

Now
We spend hours sitting back to back
Without uttering a single syllable
Isn't it ironic? Because I know
We both have alot to say


I'd give both arms and legs
Stand forever in the cold rain
With nothing but the skin on my bones
If it could bring me back to you


It has come to that

The bitter
            Severance
Spoken slowly by the exonerating
Distance that we've
            Created


I remember
We used to spend hours
Laying side by side
One under the other
Arms intertwined
Without a single word said

And yet in that silence, the whole world
Was made clear to you and I
Isn't it ironic? Because I know
In those moments, nothing needed to be said


I'd give both flesh and blood
Sleep forever on nails
With nothing to look forward to but the grave
If it would bring me back to you

It has come to this
I want to dance again..

Which is funny
Because I've never danced before.










But I want to dance again with you.
