she & him

She quietly said hello
while he was drowning in his sorrow
she couldn't fathom
why he was holding back from "tomorrow"
of friendship, love, and trust
he was stuck in the ghost of the past
seemingly struggling to battle the chains
that will lead him to the exit door where
the "old" is not allowed to remain
like what feet are to us,
she helped him stand up
gaining strength and courage
to face what was yet to come
the skies were bluer, the days were better
oh how gleeful everything appeared to be
until that day where the clouds rolled over
and "trust" ended up like shards of glass on the floor
laying lifeless, motionless, and hopeless
she was entangled in a web of confusion
lies after lies she braved
darker were the nights of yesterday
tears became her fort and defense
anything he did didn't make any sense
as she slowly wormed her way out
she hoped there would be no fallouts
of friendship, love, and trust
nothing will stay unjust
then these silent and cold reveries
no matter how deep the cuts are
will forever hold those memories
