In this life

The scars on your palms
Merge perfectly with mine
Embodying the past, the journey till now
You liked to see life running out of you
It assured you of your existence
I preferred to cease it
It assured me of my liberation
Somewhere between my secrets and your acceptance
Between my unsettled pain, and your pinned in despair
Between our search for a better life
We found each other.
To overcome, conquer, defeat and win
Were acts we seemed to powerless to perform
The past seemed to have caged us in an unbreakable spell
In each other we found the strength


In each other we found the reason to move on
He killed himself you told me once
The man who would have walked you down the aisle to me
She went crazy you said
The one who should have taken care of you
She made you cut yourself
In between our kiss I withdrew and cried
I trembled as thoughts of him flashed through my mind
He told me to always keep it a secret
The nights he barged into my room
The nights that seemed like a lifetime
He was the one who was suppose to protect me
He made me run away, he made me take my life away.
Hopeless, hateful and hardened
We embarked on an unknown path
The end of which brought me peace
It brought us together.
I never knew all I needed was one person
That’s just what we all need, one person
To hear, comfort and feel
To touch, see and shield
To help, nurture and heal
The amalgamation of our struggles
Binds us in heart, body and soul
Waging through destruction
In each others arms
We are saved.
