"Companion"



We danced in the shadows

Made our bets out of plain sight

It was you and me in this little church we have built

You left a mark in me no one could erase

Caressed my demons with your bare hands

I loved it when your lips lingered in my soul

I loved you like how I loved the words

It was my lifeline

The only truth in this treacherous world

My dewdrop after a misty night

The one thing I knew


I liked being alone with you

I found solace

You were my forest in this wild city

My calm that made me want to fall willingly

There was no question

No uncertainties

No what if's

Just you and me in that moment

It was more than enough

I was contented and in bliss



But in a swift revolution of sentiments

We instantly belonged in the past

No bargains to make

The ocean rattled us and we let it break our oars

We're left in a raft that melancholically sailed to nowhere

You jumped into the abyss

Not to save me from drowning

But to save yourself from losing you with me

Now there are two chairs and one plate

Two hearts, only one was still beating

A house without pillars

And a letter without any receiver

I said I loved you like how I loved words

Now, I couldn't even see its sense

It didn't add up in my paper anymore

I despised it for not making me feel alive again

I loved it

I loved you

But it only killed me more than the knives I have stuck in me

Loved...
