We warned each other
How terrible our demons
And monsters were
We spoke of darkness
And all the reasons
The other should be afraid

But neither believed
The other could be so bad
We underestimated
Our demons and monsters
And so now here we are
Lost and alone
Broken

Just once
To wake up
Feeling your skin
Pressed against mine

To feel as though
That were normal
How everything
Is supposed to be

But every time
I awaken
Cold and alone
I remember

Your skin is not
Pressed against mine
We aren’t together
There is no
Supposed to be
