stories of glass

is forgiveness hidden in your pocket
where do you hide the light of day
how do you see through me

what is it that you cheat
why are you always
running away

my lonely won't rub off
on you
i'll beat this silence
you won't hear a word

and the days will pass us
my skin will forget
my soul will not

you were the most sacred
thing i ever knew

the stars will fall
our picture too
the smiles we smiled
together
will burn

midnight won't cultivate
our whispers
the bed will remember
our story

and time will pass
we will too
we are stories of glass
