Falling Together

We sense a darkness hovering beyond our grasp
Though our ascriptions differ as those around us gasp
It would appear that one is right and one is wrong
Though I concede these are just ideas we cling on

I know my arguments won't penetrate your view
Yet I won't quiet as I struggle to subdue
Suspicions convoluted anchored in your mind
Still there's no need for me to treat you this

Unkindness is a trap I sometimes miss
An unintended symptom I struggle to resist
Compassion wanes as love becomes eclipsed
Though it begs to persist

Elisabeth, we used to feel so free
We traced the stars with sand dunes, sparked our own electricity
The Texas Coast for all it's beauty and it's charm
Couldn't incubate our sadness but it swayed us to disarm

From Galveston we saw Orion's Belt form a turtle shell
Watched our coupling melt
The incandescent spell of a buoyant night failed to acquiesce as we'd invite
The bioluminescence to illuminate our adolescence with emotion
Far from the well lit promenade we sensed our paths had strayed
Running into the ocean
Lighter than a prayer
Our memories differ slightly when we compare
And now we're

Falling together
Facing forever
Cutting the tethers ingrained
Withstanding pressure
Holding the center
Lifting these levers inflamed

Falling together
This darkness unveiled
Facing forever
Like a Boxcar derailed
Cutting the tethers
Finds its purpose curtailed
Withstanding pressure
With a rapturous verve
Holding the center
Paves a purpose to serve
Lifting these levers
Blooms a will to return
