She wakes up
She doesn’t want him anymore
He wakes up
He doesn’t want her anymore
Giving up on what never was
He feels nothing
She feels everything
Holding onto the lies
No more
Letting the mirage dissipate like smoke rising up into the sky
I let you go
We are both free
Inner peace resuming after the fear disappears
He chooses to stay dead
He will never change
She chooses to stay alive
She will never change
Stalemate.
