Kiri's Story: Bryan and Kiri's Song

Note: Kiri's verses are in normal font, while Bryan's are in italics.

 

Breathing in the darkness,

Afraid to touch the light,

Every word I utter is hollow

As I stumble through the night.

Everyone's counting on me now,

I have to see it through.

But how do I fix everyone else

When all I see is you?

Your fire burns inside me,

Heating to my core.

Erasing every memory

Of those I've known before.

Every ounce of my being

Yearns to hold you close,

But fear keeps us distant;

I have to let you go.

I am a ticking time bomb,

My love the fuse's light.

Destined to be alone

Out of mind, out of sight.

I wish you would stop running;

Tell me why you hide.

I could be your guardian,

Keep you by my side.
