No More Than Dead
Natalie Majidzadeh
I feel you growing away
our lives no longer entangled
I guess this is the price we pay
For our souls becoming so mingled
We did not put up a fight
When the darkness filled each heart
Because we could no longer see the light
That kept us from falling apart
It’s a shame that we couldn’t hold on
That the pain became too much to handle
It’s a shame that what was once beautiful is gone
That living was reduced to a scandal
So in our hands, we could watch as love bled
Until everything we knew was no more than dead
