we melted each other up
just like we used to
we used to burn so loudly
piles of memories pulsing at our limbs
things we never got to finish,
or even start
our bones crushing from the lives we never led
skin holding us loosely together
as we wrap our arms around that buried desire
those words we never dare say aloud
and yet do
not knowing if it’s the beginning
or the end
or just.. is
