Writing on the Wall

Folder: 
2019

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
