we sigh

they see us smiling not

confuse it with the numbness we feign

crystalline castles only we know to be plastic

we sigh

for we cannot breath nothings

or else the disillusionment of inanity

consumes us

we sigh

the curse of our kisses

the chaos of our creations

lose themselves in the swell of flooding tears

we sigh

scared empty children groping for dawn

hopeful enough to seek the light

tender enough to feel the darkness stabbing

we sigh

restless in our ambitions for purity

itching for embraces of deliverance

shuffling our feet to keep from stagnating in the purgatory of 'reality'

we sigh; we feel

we feel beauty en soi cradling us in the arms of now

held in each other's compassion we return home

we fade into ourselves, each other, this night of love

we feel

we sigh

we feel

napoleonic superheroes with caresses we kiss

floating each other on trust alone

soaring into uncharted realms of being

we feel

alone we sign heavenly accolades to deaf stars

crying with rage we cannot breathe

sanctified in unity we are blasphemers of solitude and her solemnity

we feel; we sigh

voice1: we can't go on

voice 2:so we go on

voice1: they feel we can't go on

voice2: we go on we feel

voice1: they sigh

voice2: we feel

voice1: they can't go on

voice2: we feel and  we go on

voice1: go on

voice2: feel.
