Balloon

Hands in her hair
Gazing out towards the ocean
Relaxed in their love
There's still enough
At least the moment exists
But can love sustain?
Growing brighter forever?
Or is it born just to fade?
You can't escape the power of time

In the blink of an eye
They crawl back to the water
To cast off their love
There's not enough
Best to save what is left
Sift the depths of the wreck
Try to search for some meaning
To make sense of the pain
To take the blame
I don't think it exists

So you hold it
Like a balloon
But your grip slips
It escapes you
And it hurts bad
As it flies away
Sometimes life is cruel
But you try again
