because it happened
You think love dies and you send the body of its contents out to sea in a burning coffin. You push every hope out of your mind. You square it away in a box marked 'experience' and hope the exam for lessons learned never comes up. You send soul notes and well wishes and turn your back to find a new home for your heart or go back to some old comfortable nieche you can rely on. Years tick past and fate seems mostly polite... but that bitch and her twisted sister serendipity show up knitting pathways for an iron clad destruction. The factors of 'no' rendered of no consequence. All of it melts away eye to eye face to face with the ghost of what was killed. Reincarnation is a bitch too. How many times can a love die only to envelop you so wholly so completly with one fragile look. The shaky walls start to crumble and the ashes washed ashore on once infertile ground. silent kisses upon my feet i tread water. The innocence of what is felt so completly torn from the carnage of 'yes'. And just like that the whole long lovers game is on again. The sisters of fate and mercy lay their bets. As the tide washes all prior calligulars away and the Lazzerus hearts of star crossed wills fight again. The exam begins; The war continues.
As the war rages on
And in secret we devise
An ending to forgiving
An escape from lovelorn lies
As death draws ever near
Can we hold onto yesterday
Oh, the things that led us here
Where a heart's left to decay
And though the love is strong and true
The heart so very fond of you
Without the courage to pull through
Love is just another battle fought to lose
And we can only die a little more inside
Lose sight of love replaced by pride
Escape, evade, and then retry
But can we hold on
To yesterday
Now, can we go on
Or let the memories fade
Can you see what's left behind
Can we reach the dark turned light
Or have the fates taken our fight
To split our fragile hearts in twine
Can we overcome
Let done be done
Move on to a brave new day
Can we last the night
Turn wrong to right
Move on to a brand new place
As the war rages on
Can we ever escape
When everything's gone
Can we find our new way

Love The Personification
of ideas out of an SS ideation matrix. I hear waves hitting shores that have no borders or sand, no gulls to sing, no shoals to walk upon and then, a sudden, light happens and love reappears, reincarnation as a bitch - whoa! Can't slow it down - it is a rush, a tidal wave drowning the entire Island! Niche? Loved it!
