See the hollow emotions fade into the background. The light from the candle burns out fuel for the despair. Promises were made dismissed just as quickly. Justify recollections with eerie faux pas dreams. Panic-stricken fears amount to sleepless nights.
Remember broken bones forget uncomfortable silences. When the book is closed we'll just remember the cover. Bend back the pages tear at them to see. What if this is good, as good as it gets.
