The Chronicles of My Addiction

There You Are and Here I Am

There you are smiling, and
There I am,
Smiling right back.

There you are with me,
Laughing and playing,
Cuddling and kissing;
There we are
Happy.

There we are,
Deeper in love than the
Ol' Mariana could
Ever know.

So deep it seemed that the glass
Shattered and couldn't contain
The pressure that love
Had that frame under.

Here we are,
Drowning under all that pressure;
Under all that love.
Both alone and
Dead to each other.
We cannot see each other,
For no light can penetrate the
Abyss that we called
Love.

Here we are now.
We are not there anymore, in the Picturesque world of that
Damned picture.

Here I am; there
You were.
