Our Dark Places

Our Dark Places

.

My war was lost

adrift alone

my sullen heart

could not atone

for my dark sins

the seeds were sown

.

your soul was bruised

your house in ruins

your world in flames

your heart entombed

a broken cross

scattered dreams

.

aren't we like 2 wounded souls

with rusted locks

and skittish hearts

set adrift we found our way

into one another's arms

.

don't we have a common thread

wrapped around each other's wrist

pulling us together

this is the one thing that we own

the one thing worth fighting for

.

can't we open up our sails

chart a course toward the dawn

buried in one another's arms 

together we will survive the storm

.
