Cold Like War

Divided doubt, grown to separate.
Our weathered hearts search for home again.
Too afraid to take those uncertain steps,
But two years ago we were stronger then.

When we dove head first, we were so alive
Risking everything, trying to change lives.
Now, my red eyes filled with shallow compromise.
Ripping tickets, split commitment,
Future undefined.

I never wanted to watch us fight like war
And turn away from each other
We had to stop and surrender to restore
And find a way to recover,
Losing all, we should've been,
Consequences made in this failure on to feel again.

Blacked out, misguided rage,
Grown to separate our hardened hearts
From our resentful minds.
No way to see how far down you'll land
When the fall you take wasn't part of your plan.

COLD LIKE WAR!

Doomed if you do, disowned if you don't,
No way for anyone of us.
I bit my tongue, let the blood fill my mouth.
I just smiled when I sat here and bled out.
But, through this, I found where I stand.
I will never betray me again.
