Your words left a sour taste in my mouth. When I can't sleep only thoughts of you stick out. I may never forget those moments until I die. If I take one more sip of the wine I may just drift away. I can't keep floating on anymore. I have to take control and force myself to be even better than before. Maybe one day someone will want me in their life that meant as much to me as the few times we shared the same breath. I'd give it all just to have some sleep. I'd give it all just to have some peace. One day I'll get better. One day I'll provoke myself to do much greater. Being with people that you hold close still means more to me; that I don't have to do this alone. I was hurt, but so were we. Stand together, our scars hang free. The words that pierce hang from our figures like arrows persecuting, soaking every drip of the blood in the tips of the feathers. It's been too long to hold on when the bridge breaks. Just send out a call and hope to be caught on the fall. All brotherhoods tight knit as these will give us solace and tuck us into sleep. Memories of stammering and slipping, the passionate gestures of moving bodies. A sea of hands rolling down the sides of icy mountains with iron insides. Cores being so strong and bitter under duress. A brother in heart, you helped me make my way back from the dark.
