time will not know of who we once were
we will be nothing but
dead organs and
dead skin
all the love gone
all the spirit gone
all the life gone
all the love gone
all the love gone
time will not know of
how he held me
of how he pressed his fingertips to my
neck because he thought i wasn't
breathing
of how many times he's stopped me
of how many times he
answered my call
because of a nightmare
or because of a thought
or because of a pill
of how many times he
burnt his tongue with a
cigarette
of how many times he told me he was
leaving
and i still couldn't accept it
of how many times he didn't kiss me
or of how many times he wouldn't kiss me
or of how many times he shouldn't have kissed me
or of how many times he
shouldn'twouldn'tcouldn't
or of how many times i asked him
begged him
to stay
or of how many times he had to
hold my hand first
or of how many times he told me to take care
or of how many times i popped a pill because i thought of
his face
or of how many times i tried to say it but
couldn't
couldn'twouldn'tshouldn't
we are a ripped page
we are a scar in a book
we are a mistake
we are something that shouldn'twouldn'tcouldn't have happened
we are an unfinished chapter
we are nothing but an open sentence
we are nothing but dead eyes and spilled blood
we are nothing but lost causes
we are nothing but two beings who shouldn't have intersected
we are nothing but spectres who once felt life
we are nothing but human
