i follow you in depth
in a darkness you choose to void
like our space in time
and revelations i keep at guard
i touch your tango
your space against mine
in a tune to feel oasis
your heart atop mine
but darkness folds
it lies to suck
you succumb to what you don’t disregard
a rhythm is a choice
not a pattern
you and i against each other
was a choice
not something that mattered
because our minds in a moment
change within a second
and you and i never mattered
because what you reap is what you sow
consequences of what happened
and our lives changed within a darkened moment
i twirl within a song
a lyrical moment of what we had
and you see as i go
from twenty-two to years
we were avant-garde
yet i seem to be
always at guard
always a second too far
i never wanted it
