Velocity

Penned on 19/12/13

we both know the truth
we just refuse to see it

this insane pull
towards an unknown
unseen
unimaginably beautiful
happily ever after
will end up crushing
every incredible moment
we have built
the last months of happiness on

we both know what's coming
we just won't prepare for it

it's common sense
that over time
and owing to
unwieldy distance
we will eventually change
until this equation
becomes unrecognisable
shrouded in apathy
and doubts
about it's very existence

we both know this feeling
we just won't guard against it

we'd rather drown
and be pulled down
to depths
to darkness
to death itself
instead of taking
the obvious step
and cutting loose
in the hope that one of us
might survive the sea

we both know it's over
we just can't accept
the harshest truth of them all
that knowledge
will never save us
when we'd rather turn our backs
and keep listening
to the heart instead
