Untitled

Once we moved in time 
Our bodies mimicked like shadows 
Two beats connected by heart

Like strings on our ankles 
We chose each step carefully 
Until sudden fall

Shards of glass in the cracks of past times 
Salted cheeks under another layer of dedicate cotton 
Tears of papers singed by flame 

Parts of two that are missing as one 
A simple minded gimps of what could have been
But endlessly searching for the things once known 

We move in different times 
Are bodies mimicked like shadows?
One beat by broken hearts
