Title from Snow Patrols “The Lightning Strikes”

…Please Know That You Were Mine As Well…

I.
We have carved a religion out of devastation and resolve.
Trust isn’t something to be earned, it’s begged and borrowed and stolen and surrendered because everything that means anything has burned away, except for you.
Veronica, with the secrets in your eyes and the questions on your lips.
Even when I hated you I never regretted that you lived and she died.
Brilliant and dark and roiling waters of passion, Lilly, you carved for yourself a piece of my flesh.
II.
We are hiding from the only people we have left.
We’re sealing our own death wishes with smiles on our faces.
(if you go i’ll go)
There’s no one left to save.
III.
How much to make you feel?
I can be hard, but we always counted on you to be our heart. I needed you as much as Lilly did.
I’ve spent a lifetime waiting to save you.
I’m only real when I’m reflected in your eyes.
IV.
I’ve tried to carve your name out of my heart.
I’ve given up on love.
I’ve torn the maps that led me back to you.
We are waiting to see if distance can hide us.
We are waiting to see if we can let each other go.
V.
Tears are nothing more than water and damnation.
Lilly liked me broken and bleeding and angry and alone.
You want me saved.
(this is the end we are choosing to resist)
We carved a religion out of devastation and resolve. If we pray with our bodies and lips maybe we can be free, maybe we can be real, maybe we will be enough.
If you smile when you say my name, maybe I will believe.
Prayer is a love song to those who remember.
When you take my hand, I want to be saved.
