life as i know it

in the end

i teared up for nothing in the end

there was no reveal

no mystery to make me feel

that it was worth the time

but i still cried

so can you say 

honestly and without some doubt

that you are faultless 

that you need no one

you are complete

you will be the same

after they

choose to say your name

this is a barren planet

this is an open heart

we are simply believers

choosing to stay alive

cast out the fear

the longing and its demons

that chain your soul to pieces

of picture frames 

in dusty living rooms

be and be and be

with nothing in between

i need to cry there in the end

knowing 

it was worth the time
