What I told Francis
What do you have in mind then?
I don’t know. I haven’t been thinking in a while.
Why?
Crises. It’s always been there.
Ever thought of dealing with it?
Yeah, now more than ever I want to understand.
Before it gets out of hand?
I let that happen ages ago. I sat and listened to the noise of the walls fall down.
Why?
The noise, the chaos it used to sound just like music.
Then what?
YOU came along and for a moment there was peace of mind
Ah I see.
WE held up the dam together. And for a while the waves no longer rolled high, I heard the birds sing and I realized the sun reaches this part of the earth.
But where is YOU now?
Gone.
And the waves roll high,
The dam fell,
And your inner demons run free once more.
But you want to know the worst thing? It’s there’s no where left to hide, there’s no way to go back to normal.
To the way things were before YOU?
Yeah YOU came with a lot of change.
The wounds before YOU?
They never actually healed.
For a second there was silence and being with YOU must have felt like Elysium.
But now I am drowning in my sins and YOU can’t pull me up anymore.
