the breath before a sigh

the breath before a sigh

The echo
of my heart
is out of beat.
And the shadow of my soul
is at my feet.
While the breath before a sigh -
bittersweet -
is
all
I've
got.

The hinges on the rails
upon my stairs
are coming off but no one
seems to care.
While our binges and their tales
are in the air
of
every
thought.

Know that I'd forsake
my every turn
if all that I'd have left
were still around.
While the rest was in the sky
of all we'd yearn
then
fallen
down.

So take what you can take
before it burns
and crashes in our mess
unto the ground.
Still the breath before a sigh
we sadly learn
is
all
we've
found.

So with my heart, I tear
us not apart.
And with my feet, I stand
inside the dark.
Even though my dreams
may never start
we'll
both
be
fine.

And with my eyes, know I
apologize.
As with a shrug, you gave
my heart a hug.
And with a tear, we're slaves
to all our fears -
but
never
mind.

The echoes of our hearts
have found their beat.
And the shadows of our souls
are at our feet.
While the breath before our sigh -
would not retreat -
so
now
we've
got

everything as all
the sky above.
Everything
we're ever
dreaming of.
So let us sigh and stay
in all our love
until
we
drop.
