stars fall dressed in red and white
the chasm of the living room
You look up
Smile
Go back to your book
I go back to pretending to exist
We lie awake
Like strangers in bed
Passing ghosts
Of a fire left with
nothing but ashes
Nothing but ashes
The arguments are over
The stories are all done
Happily ever after
Is so very long
Doors stay closed between us
Sleepless stale nights
Too many things unsaid
I nod
You agree
The words are all done
the conversation is cold
The food is stale
Drowning in the calandar
Every day is a gasp for air
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
The arguments are empty
We’ve long run out of gas
Happily ever after
Was just too long to last
