of a hopeless love that cannot be
of souls that are sold and grace that is lost and halos that are glowing and wings that burn and feelings that are there where they should not be
of a human who is afraid to fly and an angel who is afraid to fall
of unsaid words and hopeful gazes
of too much heart and a heart that is dead inside
of dirty trenchcoats and blue ties and worn leather jackets and amulets
of fights that are won and fights that are lost
of pop culture references and pizza and whiskey and burgers
of driving for hours and hours
of praying and losing faith
of fragile trust and hope when there is none
of loss and pain and death
of handprints and tattoos and marks and scratches and wounds
of being together and being apart
of searching and finding
of burning and bleeding
of dying for each other and living for each other
of a profound bond
of a hopeless love that cannot be
