FALLING APART

We rode through the midnight to the brighter sun

holding hands together as we looked ahead

but perhaps we looked too far 

perhaps we felt the weight of regret

as we looked into the eyes of the devilish sun 

we were consumed by the burning red

it was then when we craved

the dark blanket with sewn pearls

the night sky aglow with dreams

but all we could do was hold each other

as we were ripped apart by the seams

perhaps we were doomed to fail

but the pain wasn't any less 

and as we didn't meet each other in the life after

we desperately cried in agony and begged with every emotion we possessed.

for we didn't know we were just built to fall apart

we didn't know our happiness was at each other's cost

after all, we were only a tragic ending to a beautiful tale
