Afterwords

“Doubt is creeping into the seams.
Words keep breaking tearing at the weave.
We’ve seen the signs all through the years,
Torn between our hopes and fears.

Close your eyes,
Just close your eyes now.

Worlds collapsing, shattered dreams.
We’re failing actors in this final scene.

Hold me, now.
Just hold me, now, love.

Love can’t save us all,
Love can’t save us all.
It can be ruthless,
It can be cruel.
Love can’t save us all.

Turn the light off when you leave.
Close the door, you’re free from me.
All the hurt and all the pain
Are the afterwords, and they won’t sustain.

Break these ties,
Just break these ties now.

Love can’t save us all,
Love can’t save us all.
It can be ruthless,
It can be cruel.
Love can’t save us all…

But it can save you.”

The circular frame kind of suited this photo.
