Cracked Glass

We're sitting together, the silence pitch black

We're staring through what one might call cracked glass

The darkness is restless, the light lying low

We stay there quite still with our feelings in tow

We fathom each other, without words we explain

We'll work side by side to take away the pain

But the weight on our chests weighs more than a tonne

The world will keep spinning but morning won't come

So how do we get over this time in our lives

When the others carry on, not a change in their stride

It's like climbing mount Everest, we can't see the top

Our destination's unknown, and we fear we will drop

The numbing sensation takes over our minds

We can't see a thing and the healing takes time

The nightmares don't end and the dreams fade away

We've not slept or eaten or moved at all for days

But there's nothing more to do than wait

You and I, together, trying not to deflate

So together we will stand, together we will stay

We'll be united as one till the very last day.
