Jenn, Pt. 3

It didn't hurt anymore, it just felt heavy
Like an old suitcase that nobody carries
We would see each other and the spark was gone
Just routine and empty words

We try to stay out of habit
Out of fear of the end, out of not letting go of the summit
But love no longer slept at home
And the silence, became a threat

It's our fault, for continuing when it was already too late
For pretending that we could still save you
We became strangers in the same bed
And the I love you no longer found a soul

It's our fault, for being afraid to say goodbye
For speaking without feeling the voice
We got tired of trying because of pride
In the end, love surrendered without a murmur

Your eyes no longer sought mine
My hug didn't give you warmth
And although we wanted to heal from what we had experienced
The damage was old, and it no longer made sense

We tried, we did everything wrong
We built a castle, out of salt
And although no one was entirely cruel
We were two who no longer knew how to love

It's our fault, for not leaving in time
For getting caught in the wind
We were a story without a happy ending
A love that died, and nobody wanted to admit it

It's our fault
For not letting go when the soul was already begging to leave
