Us

In the dim light, it fades

Pieces of past fall from the sky

A faint heartbeat resonates

From hearts that once used to fly

We pull apart

And crash together again

Waves dashing on rocky shores

Wearing each other down

Till they crash no more

We used to breathe as one

Now we struggle for breath

We have become a habit

And now it's hard to separate

Tangled in thoughts and hapless strings

We lie as prisoners of our own beliefs

Unable to let go

Unwilling to hold on

In the dim light, it fades

Taking its dying breaths

We rant and rage

With a questioning gaze

Arrows of words

Scar our souls

Who killed us

Was it you, me

Or apathy?
