Pounding on the rib cage
Of this long lifeless love
No defibrillator
Can bring its spark back home

Dying by the minute
Point of no return
Long ago we killed it
By jealousy and scorn

Poisoned by corruption
Tortured by mistrust
Consented to death sentence
Inside our comfort zone

Trapped into this bedroom
The sheets turned icy cold
The levels of desire
Reminisce the North Pole

We lingered within four walls
Just not to be alone
Reminding us each hour
Where did it all go wrong?

The hostile winds are howling
This ship cannot be steered
Let’s sink it to the bottom
For once let’s be sincere

If we cut wide and open
The corpse of this dead love
We may not find a thing
That was worth fighting for

You’d like to do postmortem
Why don’t just let it go?
You might not like the causes
That killed this long dead love.

Love is amazing
Heartbreak is ******,
Loneliness is simply depressing.

There's nothing left but letters,
a shoe box full of letters
with the cap on tight

not to smother, but preserving
as if you can resurrect
a cake that's been dropped.
