We tried orchestrating ourselves in what we were supposed to be.
But was I the dissonant note in your perfect symphony?
Once lovers entwined like vines, buried safe inside woods.
Now two piles of broken branches, stacked to burn, misunderstood.
And I reside here with my fears and my sorrow well rehearsed.
So my orchestration continues, but my songs remain unheard.
If we ever would collide again, I’ll recite them in my mind.
And as your trembling gaze reaches the floor, maybe some vowels it might find.
Now no light shines between my sheets. Only nightmares hide underneath.
I’ve spent my thinking time between the empty room and the aftermath. What was wrecked could never be, better than what we had, Forever.

And as your trembling gaze reaches the floor, maybe some vowels it might find.
I can make amends with goodbyes but not like this. Please not like this. Have you forgotten everything I thought I taught you? Everything I tried to teach. Be aware of ghosts in shapeless garments; heed your feelings from their kiss. All they’re out for is another heartache. All their words are hit and miss. All your words are hit and miss. All my words are hit and miss.
