I can't give you my heart

I can't give you my heart

So I give you my body instead

Minus heart

And you give me yours

Strictly no beating heart

Like two robots

Locked in an electric circuit

But something happened

We deciphered a secret language

Machines turned magical

Sparks flew, fuse blew

I think we blew it.

We switched off.

Retired to rust.

Moving closer to dust.

Our hearts beating somewhere

Outside of our bodies

Under lock and key.

Orphaned, Abject

Searching for purpose.

But now we're reduced

To pieces of metal

Cold and grey.

To be burnt or buried.

I still can't give you my heart

Because the moment
Has passed.
And so have we.
