the night ended with words
still crippling down
the dryness of my mouth
as if prohibition was
instructed at first glance,
i tried,
we tried to make it,
fight the urge of taking
a flight,
a step,
of turning our backs
from the ones we swore
we needed the most,
we tried to make it,
to play,
to avoid,
of getting too drunk
in the idea of a real catch
just to neglect that
we're already too broken
to even catch ourselves
from further damage,
i tried to see it through
the needles of pain,
the commas in your words,
the spaces on your sentences,
i tried to read between
your actions and your eyes,
the white lies and your truth,
the slight stutter you made,
the fidgeting of your fingers,
i tried to see us through
the darkness of becoming
two souls unable to
fix each other with
what we called as
love,
i tried,
and i know,
you tried to keep up with
the world's revolution,
with the ticking of
the time we couldn't
even afford to offer—
i was tired,
you were tired,
the night ended again
with words still crippling
down the dryness of
our mouths,
unable to speak,
unable to deliver,
darling, the night ended
and so are we,
so are we.
