the night
we tried dancing in the dark?
Slipping on piles of dead leaves
and stumbling over shards of broken promises.
The wind was louder than our sore throats,
whipping through our sharp jabs at each other.
It was as if nature was just as tired
of our fighting as we were.
the night
we tried kissing in the rain?
Fighting for some sense of pleasure
to shield us from the pain of the pelting hail.
The thunder was louder than our forced grunts,
covering the sounds of our artificial happiness.
It was as if nature believed our lies
just as much as we did.
I the night we kissed in the rain.
We embraced each other, pretending that there was still something real besides the illusions of our love.
I the night we danced in the dark.
We embraced each other, pretending that there was still some light besides the shadows of our pain.
