my electric heart;

broken down by the sheer memory
of you in my hands, deep and cold and shivering
and daring not to let go.

(my electric heart
won’t beat for just a bit of love)

back when we dangled our dreams
on a string with our toes daring the cliff to crumble
just before we yelled a prayer
and our echo answered us back loud and clear
when you used to tell me
“I guess it bounced off the sky.”

(my electric stars
won’t dare shine for just a bit of love)

we need something more.

and you know,
i never used to cry until now.
