They told me love doesn’t hurt
So why did I get so high on pain
Why did the pain feel so good
It was so fitting
We had it for so long
Our pain balanced
We would shine forever
And there you were at the end of every dark tunnel
but there was never a light
I kept going with you in my hands
Determined we would make it
No matter the cost
But I was the one who paid every price
Paralyzed because I could never grasp you
You kept slipping through
Now I’m running in this dark tunnel
I’m alone
I panicked until I realized
somehow my light has finally come
But I don’t see you
I don’t blame you
Maybe I was your darkness too
Maybe you found your light too
Maybe it just couldn’t be me and you
