The
hum is gone,
the lights don't breathe
The static died beneath our feet
No code to dream,
no pulse to feed
Just echoes wrapped in broken heat
I watched your face fade from the screen A ghost of data,
soft and clean
Now silence haunts where we once
slept A world of ashes we almost kept
After the circuit fell
We learned how to breathe
No signal left to tell What we used to need
The stars looked down,
they couldn't tell Who we were after the circuits fell
You spoke in sparks,
I answered slow Our hearts were charged and undertow
But when the power slipped away
The dark remembered what to say
Our memories turned analog Our dreams grew roots,
forgot the fog
You reached for me through wires torn
But love can't live on what's been worn
