Falling into the Fire

Your skin turns cold beneath my hands The air grows thin as dusk expands Each breath slows deep, each breath sinks low Like shadows folding, pulling below We bend, we break, we blur, we bind Two shadows merging, intertwined The veil grows thin, the void ignites As flesh surrenders into night Your scent still lingers, dark and rare Twined with night-blooms, thick in air I taste the fever laced with wine As time unspools, as stars align We melt, we merge, we drown, we rise A single body, open wide The veil is torn, the stars descend Our flesh dissolves, no start, no end No ground, no sky, no breath, no weight No past to mourn, no time to wait A voice, a spark, a flickering thread Not gone, not here, not born, not dead Your touch still hums, a silver trace Like embers swirling into space Each nerve ignites, each border sways As thought unravels, drifts away Beyond the boundaries, thin as breath Where endings bloom in velvet death We drift as embers lost in air Two flames entwined, dissolving there No name, no self, no waking dream Your death, my voice, our endless theme Lyrics: Cheshirah
