Line

 In the midst of broken promises

I hear them swirling through the lips to my ears
My trembling fingers cover my ears in a calm fright
What am I afraid of I don't even know
When I no longer have any promise to break
My wishes sailed from the shore and drowned in the ocean somewhere
Your skin softened in that ocean of my tears
You're no longer here so what are these promises made of?
This broken heart still scared of?

Every step I take through our valley of life
That chapter where you walked beside me all the time
My shoulders now falter from the weight of your eyes on me
That memory still clear in my head, still serene
But that peace is marred with colors I no longer recognize
Your face is blur to me in this valley of time
Then who am I afraid of in this chapter of lies?
When you're no longer here, what is it that still lingers,
Beyond my comprehension,
Beyond our own time.

When I pick those cups your hands once had touched,
This haunted house still reminds me of you so much,
How come a place I built first,
Becomes something I can no longer breathe in,
Somewhere you just walked out of
And it felt like the whole air was sucked out
Just as you scratched my heart till it's last caress
You took my everything with you including my shed
I walk in boots, I no longer care
Then why does this thought lingers that you robbed me of my share
That you robbed me of everything I could ever bear.

Just as the rivers flow on and on
I thought some things do last beyond
The bars that were once created
The premonitions which were never debated
I thought you'd be the one who'd walk over that bar with me
Hand in hand, in our eyes no guilt
Of course you're mine and I'm yours
Then how did those bars cut over me?
I shielded you from the storm but you never thought of me
You disappeared in wind, then why did you follow me?
Those broken promises with prays of love
How can you be so clever but never enough for us?

Seems like there's only one answer to this
No lies, no promise, no me
This love that still breathes in these
Things which you left behind
Promises which you could never bind
And the house that still stands still in time
Love breaks apart but reality is all the lie
Before me stands a bar and I still have time
But that strength is so forgotten I don't even remember it being mine
Just your touch which once held mine
I never stopped loving you,
I could never stop making you mine
Even if you're not here,
even if this silence is all I hear,

Line after line like a siren,

Life is so unforgiven.
