• ((Lament of Romances Requiem))
    ((Asphyxiation of a Looming Apology))
    ____________________________________________________________________

    Oh, how the heartbeat suddenly winds down –
    as if the batteries had finally given up.
    Those words... the drumbeat of an old, forgotten war,
    loom inside my mind – drinking out of deaths cup.

    What was it, you just said? Speak it again, for I believe
    I must have misheard the apology you just spoke.
    That simple hypocrisy that resonated in waves from your lips;
    tell me now... said out loud – your voice fades into a gentle stroke.

    My stomach turns in the reminiscence of your scent,
    it veils my being in a coat of cold, sinking into my skin
    and your tongue suddenly stumbles, trying to find the right words.
    Silently, I hope you suffocate on the memories of what has been...

    The eerie pitch in the timbre of your voice drifts –
    I am to blame? I repeat. (Your filthy pride consumed your humility.)
    The one I once loved, sings the requiem of thrown away romance
    in a subtle, arrogant voice; it singes into my vulnerability.

    Oh, how the heartbeat fails to beat in peace; stuck listening
    to the lie you spoke – still, I don't mind being without you anymore.
    The choir of inanimate voices lament over starry-eyed dreams –
    your serenade of farewell buried far away from the hearts core.
