Ruins
Last night I broke apart against a sentence
I am only pieces scattered on the page
What are the adjectives to keep the light from fading?
What are the verbs that I can use to make you stay?
After the storm, we emerged from the wreckage
In the ruins, you soundlessly held onto me
There was hope but the ocean rose and claimed it
All my words are sunk into the sea
I woke to morning and the sun against the concrete
I felt the summer loud and angry on my eyes
For a breath, I thought I heard the door creak open
But it was only songbirds, crying out nearby
After the storm, we emerged from the wreckage
In the ruins, you soundlessly held onto me
There was hope but the ocean rose and claimed it
All my words are sunk into the sea
I didn't know a life could shatter in a heartbeat
I saw the monuments we'd built turn into sand
If it meant anything, I'd tell you I am sorry
If I could speak, I'd ask to hear you sing again
After the storm, we emerged from the wreckage
In the ruins, you soundlessly held onto me
There was hope but the ocean rose and claimed it
All my words are sunk into the sea
All my words are sunk into the sea
I am only pieces scattered on the page
What are the adjectives to keep the light from fading?
What are the verbs that I can use to make you stay?
After the storm, we emerged from the wreckage
In the ruins, you soundlessly held onto me
There was hope but the ocean rose and claimed it
All my words are sunk into the sea
I woke to morning and the sun against the concrete
I felt the summer loud and angry on my eyes
For a breath, I thought I heard the door creak open
But it was only songbirds, crying out nearby
After the storm, we emerged from the wreckage
In the ruins, you soundlessly held onto me
There was hope but the ocean rose and claimed it
All my words are sunk into the sea
I didn't know a life could shatter in a heartbeat
I saw the monuments we'd built turn into sand
If it meant anything, I'd tell you I am sorry
If I could speak, I'd ask to hear you sing again
After the storm, we emerged from the wreckage
In the ruins, you soundlessly held onto me
There was hope but the ocean rose and claimed it
All my words are sunk into the sea
All my words are sunk into the sea
