Nothing, We Used To Know

The secrets are gone when you look away, prepare;
they''ll whisper you your fate.

Was a time when I knew the air you carried upon,
how the touch of life came from the beauty in your outstretched feelings.

How a figment will bury itself in forgetfulness,
entangling the parting lips with poisons.

We clung to each other in those last moments,
even as we felt our estrangement pulling us in opposing directions.

No familiarity bore consciousness in bare eyes,
forgoing the kinship of hearts in tomorrows.

Your back refused to turn your face to my pleading,
realised in that fractured movement that you no longer existed.

We no longer existed in unity,
just two strangers that shared nothing...
Words...

I can't remember what beckoned the tears to leave my eyes, but I remember nothing....

Our secret...
Gone when we looked away...
Strangers...
Something...
Nothing..
Nobody....
Something, we used to know.
