If I could breathe feelings into your soul

If I could drink peace from the depths of the earth

I would try to convey the longings of my soul

If I knew forever by the beat of your heart

As I swallow the bittersweet remnants

Of what could have been, but never will be

I am reassured

Of nothing

But the fickleness of humanity

My disgust is your mistrust.

If you drank the sorrow pouring from my heart

Could feel the weight of the pain in our breath

You would find how intricately

Fragile we are.
