Your twin heartbeat at stake
On the verge of severance
Not yet prepared to forsake
I saw only a person in pain
Light I was desperate to impart
But I disregarded your heart
Denied it time and reverence
Thus our spark could not sustain
Does your heart still flutter?
Did the flutter fade?
Do your thoughts still stutter
Through the sleep that we delayed
And the tether that we made?
Air filled with static
Intense, automatic
Instant, empathic intimacy
We could have been incendiary
Under a black April sky
We unveiled filth and shame
The act that split our seam
Caused by pills and fever dreams
But medicine can't take the blame
Now I'm banished in frost
Only your ghost hears me cry
Future love was the cost
I once made your heart flutter
Now you've faded away
