In Grave We Crave

Info

My grief was ne'er brief

Your grief was like a lost thief

Once I craved your body

Now I crave nobody

You were long gone

I was long 'no one'

I found you missin'

You ne'er found me searchin'

I found myself lovin'

You found yourself leavin'

I waited a little more

You wanted more

I wasted time

You warned time

My thought o' you ne'er weakened nor weathered

Your thought o' me already wintered and withered

I wondered where you wandered

You ne'er pondered what I tendered

I no longer yearned

You no longer learned

I didn't have to suffer

You didn't have to buffer

I no longer longed

You were no longer wronged

Temperature ne'er rose

Sparks fly ne'er came close

Attraction ne'er electrified

Chemistry ne'er identified

Now we both ne'er crave

We have to save

We're finally together

Finally away from forever

For our lives aren't just engraved,

They're also graved...

Now we both crave our grave

Goodbyes are in a wave

You and I may not be paramours

But we're still neighbors

Our bodies already have their closest distance

Our remnants will forever remember their resistance

Our resonance will have its resemblance

Our significance will forever be a circumstance...
