We were young and nearsighted
To build a house of fake flowers,
But together now, the dizzy stars in my eyes
Are gone.
All kinds of magic and gold dust
Echo shadows.
Unlucky in love,
Both of us mask a glance
At someone else
From beneath the ice sheet,
Because guilty, lost love knots the truth.
Steady yourself for endless waves
Of saltwater nightmares.
Robot couple, your engine hearts
Rusted.
