We could pull off our skin
examine the similarities
We could throw away our masks
Forget our rage for today
You have escaped heavens air
But still you choke in midnight
We have spoken, argued
And all that remains is ash
I have cried, I have grieved
But the wound is still fresh
The irony of summer aches
It grabs me and it pulses
But it knows not what it has stolen
My pain is my heart
And I feel it throb through seconds
If I were cast into ageless sleep
I wouldn’t ask god to see your face as I rest
I would pray when i woke it was all a dream

Done for a school project a while back, it mixed with how i was feeling at the moment and also blended into the topic i was studying.
