Because it Hurts to Say Sorry

The lights in a row along the horizon and inside we're both cursing the same Her. The waves aren't loud tonight, the ocean mild. Car lights flash inside as we try not to make eye contact.

I know you're sorry and i know you love me and i know none of this matters but...

I'm trying to remember nothing but purple trees and sitting in what they called Hell with my head against your shoulder and maybe i was...

It's your birthday soon.

I see the tears roll down you face and you shake, with anger, with fear, with agony. Shhh i whisper along with the black and white waves.

car lights and shhhhh i whisper along with the black and white waves.

Shhh i whisper with the black and white waves.

Shhh everything will be alright. And i whisper and whisper makign a thousand promises and giving you a thousand words to sleep tight with tonight. wrapped around you like blankets and kisses and stories of forever. To hold you in the dark and wipe your tears away even when i can't. I can't anymore.
