I waited love's rumour. I remembered slowing sooner. oh i know Breathing slow. oh i know Long ago. I mistook the memory For a pulse still beating Kept feeding yesterday While tomorrow stopped repeating Called it a dying love Because the words felt fair Held the fading close Every breath not a care Shallow breathing Slowly leaving Vacant twitching Something missing Final spark Fading dark Speech dwindles Excuses kindle Eyes wander Hands squander Trust corrodes Patience erodes Promises fracture Gravity captures I mistook the memory For a pulse still beating Kept feeding yesterday While tomorrow stopped repeating Called it a dying love Because the words felt fair Held the fading close Every breath not a care One tremor One error One flicker One shiver One fracture One failure No culprit No verdict No spectacle No warning Just erosion Slow corrosion Grinding deeper Growing weaker I mistook the memory For a pulse still beating Kept feeding yesterday While tomorrow stopped repeating Called it a dying love Because the words felt fair Held the fading close Every breath not a care Shallow breathing Slowly leaving Vacant twitching Something missing Final spark Fading dark Breath ceases Dust releases Machinery cools Nothing moves Silence stays Nothing remains
