Loveless
As the days go by you rub away at me
and peel back the pages of my skin
Soon I shall be raw, sore and broken
As you undo me
So you have undone me again
And I am me and you are you
And we are nothing
I am broken
your hands are too small to gather me up
so I fall through the cracks of your fingers
each day a little more
Then what's left is the black side
The dark side
The spiteful sharp bits
Like the leftovers of a roast chicken
Photos of us are in the shadows
Overcast by clouds
Our hands held strong
Covered by darkness
Sat with the what ifs and the could've done
So I wait
And you wait
For the sun to shift and show us the light
But the clouds don't move
And we never again feel the same
So we are gone
Fallen, to the low ground
The ground beneath the grounds
where people rarely go as they never make it back again
Claw away at the mud cracked on our bodies
trying to reach the light
Every day
The we that we were is further away
After a time we close our eyes and forget
What was
Until there is nothing left of us
Just two people that used to be in love
