Breathe to the beat of sirens

The writings on the wall for you to see

Read these words now cos soon they’ll be gone

Watch as ink runs faster than you run from me

A thousand words run circles round you

How can this not move you?

My hands hold you tight as my lips say goodnight

Under this street light our bodies turn to silhouette

Even shadows become distant as we walk away

Footsteps become louder

My heart beats a little faster

You cross me out and leave another mark

In the spaces and places that you have made your own



What do we do when love is not enough?

Things that seem close were never close at all

The colours fade from your eyes faster than this final goodbye

Your words puncher my lungs as a gasp for air

Screaming from the fence line

You lode your gun one last time

Pulling the trigger as you open your mouth

Stand back and watch me bleed

Let this blood stained floor be a reminder

Of this: our magical little world



It’s almost over

As we to walk away

Hearts begin to beat louder

But only in the dark
