My bones crumble
My bones rebuild
My heart empties
My heart refills

My body tires
My body dreams
My smile fades
My smile beams

My arms reach
My arms hold
My fingers bend
My fingers fold

My eyes watch
My eyes weep
My mind runs
My mind sleeps

Our souls wander
Our souls find
Our hands search
Our hands intertwine

Every night I lie awake
Sleep miles from my mind
I pray to God my mind to take
But please leave my soul behind

Birds sing their sweetest songs
They contrast my bitter thoughts
I hum this verse, though I haven't listened long
My heart and mind are lonely astronauts
