Before, our love Became inanimate It had flickered, pulsed Its own heart Beating as we slowly Danced across the floor The light in our eyes Lit every corner of the room Leaving no room for doubt After, our love Became inanimate Our hearts, clanging bells Calling for each other Absent our names Only shadows filled the room And doubt, positioned In the middle of the floor We knew how to sit On opposite ends of the room Inanimate expressions With the absence of hearts

Absence of Hearts
Before, our love Became inanimate It had flickered, pulsed Its own heart Beating as we slowly Danced across the floor The light in our eyes Lit every corner of the room Leaving no room for doubt After, our love Became inanimate Our hearts, clanging bells Calling for each other Absent our names Only shadows filled the room And doubt, positioned In the middle of the floor We knew how to sit On opposite ends of the room Inanimate expressions With the absence of hearts
