You always call for me reaching for my hand as if I could pull you up and out of this hole that I know you know we are both wallowing in we are staring into the darkness waiting for the other to make a move but we're playing follow the leader one following two two hands holding onto something so tight that maybe we forgot how to let go. I stumble to you although I've never clearly seen your face you always know the right words to say to bring me to my knees trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered ego killing me with kindness words I wish I had the confidence to believe. You open your arms to me and for a few moments I can breathe again I want to breathe you in like oxygen but we are magnetic charges two negative to bond we are two tortured souls forever intertwined
