Pulling on a Thread
Remember those pictures of us?
The only way to see them now
Is to remember what was.

They caught on fire fast
And weren't the only things
That went to ash

Together
We destroyed what we liked
about each other

Now when I see your smile
I see a poorly lit crescent moon
that no longer knows
what it's like to be full

All we could do was laugh
As our waning love
become a thread of fun
That was deeply sewn
into the past

To remember us?
Try pulling on a thread
Go ahead and see
Where do they all end?

The ashes.
