Dead Ends

Empty
No longer filled with love
It's over
The love in our hearts has died
Found no more
Hate is coming alive
With every breath we take
In the grace of each other
All we felt inside
Has somehow flown away
Beyond our grasp
Distant lovers
Unreachable by touch
Contact can't be established
The sweet emotion has vanished
Replaced by bitterness and anguish
And now it is all
That we are made of
Yet all that we have left
To cling to
But it's enough
So we hang on tight
With all of our might
Death grip clasp
Trying and trying
But only find ourselves crying
Inching one step closer to goodbye
Still we deny
And fight
Keep pushing harder
To go farther
Ending up somewhere but going nowhere
Places of no meaning
Will only take us to
Destinations that consist only of
Dark alleyways and circular structures
I can walk with your hand in mine
And though it feels right for a time
It doesn't change the fact that
We don't know where we're going
Nervous travelers
Following carved out paths to lead us
Down roads that seem to go forever
Endurance strong
Determined to get home
Not quite unravelers
Running fast
Calling out for hope
But getting no reply
To desperate tears
That fall from our eyes
Sky flashes clear
Briefly heart ache subsides
We're meant to be here
It's time to face our fears
Share one last kiss
And embrace before we crash
Into the same edge for the last time
Essential pain
To help us realize
That all that's ever really lied ahead
Were dead ends
For you and I
To kill all that we are
And remind us our time has passed
Now the only way to survive
Is to turn around
Bring ourselves back to life
Not bring each other down
Revitalize
And find the strength
To begin again
Alone
