When have we not gone on
dancing this promise
fighting this darkness with fire
that might burn us
but it’s not going to
take us apart
When have we not known that
words could cut us
but we have used them to
build us up too
All the writings on the wall
are me screaming your name
so even when we’re falling
we don’t have to lose
Sometimes I think I write too much
about taking things apart
and not enough about building them
and maybe that is why I love you like I love sunsets
why the pieces of me are pieces of you
When have we not known
we are cracked and rootless
but intertwined we keep shadowing maybe
When have we not seen
worlds in monsters
we take one look in their eyes and
you are home
But my handwriting keeps filling up your walls
like you don’t want to get rid of me
like even if you did it would take a lifetime to learn
