We were delirious.

 

A pounding head plagued us as we slept.

There were frantic red tears after elaborate dreams.

How sad it was to watch us both suffer,

Yet all you could do was watch as lies made us crumble.

 

I cried the tears you refused to shed for us.

I trudged through storms of discord together with you.

And when we felt the eyes on our backs,

I walked us through the hallway with our head held high.

 

You hid us in the closet

I walked us out the door.

You drew the pain into art from red ink

I patched its holes with pale tape.

 

There were times when you contemplated our sanity

And I assured you our sanity was complete.

There were times when you hung over railings

And I made sure we only admired the sunset.

 

When they noticed our bruises and scars

I gave us the strength to be truthful.

Though I couldn’t help us through the hard life

They helped us recognize a happier life.

 

We are no longer delirious.

We sleep soundly through the night

We no longer both suffer or crumble

We admire sunsets and sunrises with smiles

 

Now we walk on with our head held high

And all we hoped to do is nearly accomplished.

How great it is to hear us both laugh,

And see our sweet friendships brought together again.
