•ELIAS•

My heart was glass,

I never knew before you,

Even when worlds apart,

I couldn't help but fall for you,

Can I remove all the memories,

Without you in them,

Because seconds without you,

Were eternity for my soul,

My soul that yearns a place now,

A place I could never win,

With broken shards of my heart,

I spill crimson within.

•CYNTHIA•

A cry of despair,

I never knew before you,

Even when you walked away,

My heart still yearned you,

Like the stars,

In the galaxies far apart,

My soul yearns for love,

To shine the same way through your eyes,

The same soul that controls my mind,

Dreaming the whisper of your lips,

Speaking the words of your hate,

Till I am empty within.
