You
Set sparks
Between us
But all that fire leaves
Is ashes and dust

Rust instead
Over aching decades
Like iron hearts
Corrode together, surely

I
Set sparks
Alone together
So all that fire leaves
Is ashes and dust

Inertia instead
Over pleasurable minutes
Like tarred lungs
Self destruct, slowly

Lets
Fade away
And not burn out

Slowly but surely
But
Surely but slowly
