Light of Hope

Could he not hear the silence that encroached upon him with frightening speed?
He did not know that he knew her name after all.
She ran towards him but ended up on the wrong side of the world.
He hid in his bottles and shadows as the light danced about his eyelashes.
She couldn't save him from what he sought.
Where does a good girl go to find the dark?
Where does a dark lad go to find the good?
Where can we meet in the middle?
They broke down at the end of the world
They fell off the side of the planet together and came back on the top.
She kissed his cheek with wet lips.
He kissed the tears from her lips.
They drew in new life from each others breath.
Fairytales are not real, but is love?
She wants to say yes but is afraid of the consequences.
She needs the light of the hope he left her with.
He needs her to keep her hope.
It breaks their hearts slowly.
Why can't they let go?
Let go.
