From_Now_On Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Friday's Tears A late day in early November An early evening game The air is growing colder But, nothing stays the same He's looking ahead She's lost in 'behind' He's trying to hold her Thoughts are racing through her mind She looks away He holds her near Quietly they're holding on Silently dying here If she had tears left They'd be pouring down like rain But she doesn't have to cry For him to see her pain He can feel her slipping from his grasp He holds on tighter But 'together' will never last And they know it. As she looks into his eyes She sees the tears she couldn't cry As she touches his cheek She feels her knees are growing weak She asks why But she already knows Her insides are trembling As she firmly pulls him close Two broken hearts With the same muffled beat Sweet sorrow in this comforting… Prelude to defeat Don't speak it out loud Let's hide in this fantasy Pretend we can be together Trying just to breathe He's what she needs What he needs is her to hold on But she's running out of apologies For ev'rything she does wrong She promises to stay Whispering soft and sad She should pull away But they're all that they have His face is hidden in her hair He pulls her closer But he's holding to despair There's nothing there And they know it. (Author's note: Going back and reading this now...knowing how things would turn out all along still didn't make things any easier when the time came to face inevitability. This is one of those times I wish my personal life foreshadowing had been off the mark. But you really can't avoid the inevitable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
