The Divide

The divide

Between where your heart lies with mine

Is an empty canyon

Evaporated water

Leading to a broken dam

But among the ruins lies inevitable beauty

Empty cracks holding secrets

Only whispered between you and I

Our past can not be denied

Illuminated when the sun hits our edges

Rising and falling, ricocheting between ledges

Can you hear our echo forever calling back the past,

Luring relapse after relapse?

It shouts "Jump into my net"

Safety being my best bet

But what would come if I did not?

If I chose instead to destroy this plot?

Could we survive, parched mouthed and paralyzed?

I'd rather that then live a lie
