The frown in my smile,
The dead eyes in my heart so alive.
They were him. They were him.

The spaces between now and then,
Where I knew all in between,
Where he knew more than I did.

Aiming at targets,
That didn’t deserve to be hit.
I couldn’t even see. He did.

In my heart are the skies,
In his belief are the stars.
We hit. We hit the ground so hard.

There’s a better part of hunger in me.

I begin negotiations with him.
We fall apart. I fall apart.
