Liminal Heart

Wandering beneath the silver moon at midnight my heart sinks with your memory although you're still here I loved you once more, but I can't love you again We've grown apart yet you've returned You're alive and I'm rotting slowly and you drain me without being near I can't make my heart stop beating for you and your love bombs keep dropping at my doorstep I'm alone by the trees in the dark and I see shadows in the wake of my footsteps I love them more than I love myself I love them as much as I love you And you bring with you the shadows of doubt You repeat words I know all too well You bring me back down to earth and I remember I am dirt Kissing you is like drinking poison so I stopped and left a liminal space between us And I do well and it's fine and then I hear your voice and I feel like I'm dying
