standing together we stand apart
You spoke last but I fell at the start
I see you
you can see me
I.C.U.
this fragility
invalid, pallid
I move to speak
cast down and out
somehow impenetrable
the air that surrounds us
I know we have begun
the ending of our love
I’m not sure how to say
you will always be a part of me
I am who I am due to you
but what we had has faded
from view
candid heartbeat of the after
you pinching the bridge of your nose
time drifts on solar winds
winding the clock to our close
I am being ripped apart
and pieced together again
the strain of your iris
speaking the tongues of goodbye
a shroud lays upon the casket of love
I recall that both of us dressed in black
that day
a scar on the history of our souls
lessons of how to love
and the understanding that ours
was not to last
I will celebrate the anniversary
the day that you fell away
I listen to the music of a passing train
I can see the beauty of your lips
the last kiss of our eternity
I still miss you
and I hope you remember
the song of our memory
perhaps in another life
we got it right,
at least I like to feel that way
I do know I still love you
and know why you could not
stay
