Aftermath

Don't pretend
that this is the end.
It's okay hold my hand.
You're too paralyzed after
watching everything you love
die before your eyes.
Yet you're attention is what I demand.

We have to move on.
Don't look behind.
The pain is too hard to swallow.
You're being useless.
We're spitting on their memories
if we get on our knees and just wallow.

Not me.
I will follow the silver lining.
I will reach for the light
before it stops shining.
I'm not gonna give up on you,
call it bad timing.
But this moment happened
so you could grow up
and quit your whining.

Everyday day 'n night-
we unite
we fight.
You always wake up
with a little piece of you
dead inside.

Even if you don't want
to be together,
I'm all that you have left.
If you think
I'm gonna save your ass
again and again.
Don't hold your breath.

'Cause with calamity down
you still don't see,
that at the end of the rainbow;
we can both find peace.

Then we can go our separate ways
forget all the times
we shared a laugh.
You gave us no time to celebrate,
too far gone following your own path.

After what we've been through
I don't blame you, but,
will you ever be coming back?
I don't expect you to love me,
just thought you'd still
want my company.
Sadly only when tragedy strikes-
do you hold my hand.
