Awake at dusk

Suspended over barbed teeth

Tasteless tongues

Tear at the bay

Carving a grin

I try to scream

But my lungs cave in

Quivering lips

Form silent pleas

I am disgraced

You aren't erased

Struck a line

Scrawled their name

It's not the same

It's not the same

(Repeat once)

Awake at dawn

Interlaced limbs

The smell of smoke

And summer's air

Our lungs share

The first breath

And sigh

"Our love will

never die"

Sleep unties

These knots in my stomach

And returns

The smoke and that summer

Our lungs share

The first breath

And sigh

"Our love will

never die"
