eventually it dies
twist
twist up
twist out
twist around
twist through
twist through you
and up and out
like the shape of your mouth
in a kiss
twist
screw up those lips
don’t let me through
let me through
let me go
let me breathe
and eventually?
eventually?
Eventually we all die
and our love will too
lingering softly
softly-harshly-hardly
hardly in our memories any more
no stones, say no stones now
and somehow
maybe maybe
this thorn won’t sting so bad
in a year
when you abandon me
pulling my heart along with you
dragging it behind you
like a dead dog on a leash
and the slight lines of my hope
dashed once again
losing itself
losing me
once again
again
and more
like a child lost in a crowd
like a ghost dying again in a scream
where my heart lives
it lives the dream
can’tthinkcan’tsleepcan’tspeakbut f e e l
f e e l f e e l f e e l that’s all and nothing else
that’s all and no-one
can stop this beat
like I can.
