i hope our paths cross again,
that im in a better position then.
the worlds not weighing on my shoulders,
your solitary army’s bravest soldier.
one day you’ll see the pieces i gave
the satisfaction of your love, i craved.
shattered myself so you’d have more
of these parts, of me, my core.
down to the heart, down to the bone
lost all of myself until i had to loan
parts of myself from people I don’t know
because I wasn’t yet ready to let you go
i gave and gave but never took
longing for just one look
now im in debt to strangers,
nothing left of me but empty chambers.
shards of glass, pricking my fingers
i pick up parts as the hope lingers.
hope for the moment when,
our paths will cross again,
another time another place
a different past, a path to trace
savour this fleeting moment of grace
for once let’s end this chase?
stretched and torn, over and backwards,
we were always bound for disaster.
but once im gone and I can’t give
you’ll see what’s left to live -
not me, but the silence where I dwelled
so til our paths cross, farewell.
