The Bones of Us

Leaves fell to the ground that day

Your tears spoke when you didn't know what to say

We died in that moment

Flatline

I turned my back on you

The silence confirmed the truth

The anger in your eyes

It couldn't hide your lies

Like the tears that spoke when you didn't know what to say

Urging me to walk away

It was as if the world had ceased

Guilt was your silent beast

Waiting to tear us apart

Each lie a scar on my heart

As the air grew still, and the world turned grey

The leaves lay on the floor in disarray

While the heavens cracked and fell to the ground

The birds remained silent, even the ravens made no sound

And then the thunder started

The horses of the dead came to collect the departed

The bones of us

Left amongst the leaves and the dust…

and the bullshit.
