One Damned Day

Against the thrust of the knife
Bleeding hearts locked in desire
Lost against the sea of belief
Weeding out each other's pain

Believing in a gentler ending
Trust against the tides and rain
Repealing what you really know
Stabbing the drowning heart

Within their chest, beating hard
Hearts begin and remain, testing
Passing through each and every day
Vastly underestimating, opened

Here at last, it has come to you
One damned day
Here at last, trust has broken you
One damned day
Bleeding out, the knife thrust too deep
One damned day
Shattered against these broken walls
One damned day

Torn into a bloody mess and broken
Trailing behind the onward pushing
Conclusion of believing in this ending
Now detesting standing in this rain

Footholds slipping, going backwards
Longing now is all that is left
Belief was what you once possessed
Illusions dissapear into the sea

Running now on empty fumes, protest
Like empty husks which winds possess
Gentle endings turned against the hearts
And pushed, far too deep, we weep

Here at last, it has come to you
One damned day
Here at last, trust has broken you
One damned day
Bleeding out, the knife thrust too deep
One damned day
Shattered against these broken walls
One damned day

Acceptable Losses

How did we get here
From where we once were
Into this state of being
So many things
We took for granted
Took away
Successions of
Intimate knowledge
In repose
Mutual attenuation
Subtle changes
Less ourselves
Brought to bear
Against each other
Over unity, perpetually
Broken, unresolved
Without healing
We dissolve
Without earning
Trust and giving
Benefit from doubt
We embrace only
Acceptable losses
