The Greatest Let Down.

The kerosene that stained her dress and the flames that overtook a city.
The glass that shattered loud enough to mute the alarms.
It's funny how you never hear what you need to.
He took her hand, led her to that shore, where they forgot what innocence was for just a minute.
The crickets they chirped, a story they told a million times.
He found that sparkle in her eyes. She found her escape.
Between eyelashes sat a future to create, mend or destroy.
We all try our hardest to be what we know we can't.
We break our backs over the whispers, we try our hardest not to hear.
The clothes, the shoes, the make-up, the regrets, it's all a downfall.
It's all a dream.
Let the ash tell the story.
Let the sky hear our cries.
Tonight's the night were free.
Tonight we fly.
Goodbye reality, we've moved on.
Goodbye gravity, our feet will write soon.
This is realizing who we are.
This is the greatest let down.
