I could trip over forever
Like it was nothing
Like forever didn’t mean a thing,
Because it didn’t mean anything to you
Or, in reality, to me

I thought I could give you
That promise
And still keep it for myself,
But I was wrong
I am always wrong

Dancing over each piano note
Falling over every word,
The songs our bodies made together
Are silent now
Where they once echoed

We carried a tune
For a time,
But like every flame and glowing ember
We tapered out
Into nothing
