tangentially i think it’s over

i don’t dare look at my reflection now

can’t stand the emptiness in my eyes

and there’s danger in the loneliness

spare a kiss between the lies

the fireplace is out of embers

and the midnight moon is cold

no there’s nowhere to go from here

our promises have grown too old

promise me the world

even if momentarily

write your graffiti on my forehead

and tell me it’s only temporary

my love i already knew
