aluminium and mercury-

amalgamation of you and i.

if oxygen was unspoken words,

your affections just a pretty lie.

solace trapped under the silence,

and our worries bore flowers,

emerging from the traces of us,

and this friendship that was ours.

i felt my messages hit surface level,

before i realised you didn't hear.

the damage was never deep though

as long as you stood near.
