I have seen hell
And felt exquisite bliss...

Late at night most are tucked in bed,
Warm and cozy amid layers of cotton comfort...

There you stand, your arms spread wide,
Giggling in the faded sun...

Inside the mirror
I'm hidden fast...

My eyes swim at every blink,
swollen with emotional rain...

You see it, I think
in my eyes...

Fading.
The setting sun...

Run.
The door is open...

Hush.
Quiet...

I saw me
in those moments...

The part of me that is falling apart
doesn't like to meet with...

I love you.
But love, alone...
