A Story that Seemed Far Off

the findings of the autopsy conducted on our relationship shows that

what we did was dig a hole deep enough to bury our dreams in

dreams we dreamed together

dreams we hid from each other

so tired of watching the walls echo our silence back

we broke them.

shattering any illusions clinging lifelessly

to a hope of what we once were

the tingle of a kiss

the warmth of two arms

the way our heartbeats start a symphony

the way our bodies finished them

so we watched

eyes unblinking not daring to miss the Universe before us

it's like seeking a memory now, a vision of another life

a story that seemed far off
