'Remains'

Sleep evades the broken ones
The image of your eyes keep me awake again
The tears streaming down as I try to explain
The answers I'll keep tucked away for now
Maybe one day you'll ask the right questions
And maybe this time I can make it come out the way
it's meant to

The lines of communication have been severed
Leaving me dead in the air
Now I'm frozen in flight with no ground pattern
I guess I can't escape the crash now
My destiny lies in flames
My heart is all that remains

Give me the time to explain
To collect all the promises I once made
Burn them down and rearrange the ashes
So that we may start again

No one ever said that it would be this hard
But no one ever said that it couldn't be this easy
To fall in love again
To feel the comfort we once found in each other
In moments when I finally felt like I existed.
