Work Text:
i remember, long ago, a place that felt like home
filled with laughter, joy and love,
people i adored.
smiles and hot cups of tea
filled my days up to the brim
enough love to last a lifetime, more than I deserved.
but perfection can't last forever,
small cracks in the glass
in the form of corruption,
worms infest our minds
and i can't even recall what she looked like
all pretty and shy, eyes full of life
as she took my hand during lunch or dinner.
all I remember is her smile
then everything went crazy
paranoia fueled their mind.
but even then i stayed
trying to soothe their worries
conspiracy to murder,
not the weirdest thing for us
never trust anyone else again
god, him, he was so everything
an attack on all my senses
but i loved him and i regret
i didn't truly say goodbye
he used to smile.
then months of silence
lonely days of work
endless statements of the end to come,
the future without us.
when they woke up, i didn't feel at all
no relief or gratitude
love hidden far away
a stormy sea, impossible to cross
but they saved me, truly saved me
or at least they really tried
but they can never erase the pain inside my mind,
lost in thoughts from long ago.
but at least they smile.
so now we're here, not yet somewhere else
waiting for when this'll finally be over
together, one way or another
i step closer, press a kiss to his lips
and I smile before the world fades to black
