The Last One

Arms once bent towards me
Now caught in hesitation
Legs once dancing
Now wandering in place and
Words once promising
To do
To have
To hold
Once worth saving
Just to watch each other drown
Am I wrong?
Oh, here we are
Here we are
Here we are, dear
Are we near to the end?
Saving our breath
Our histories bound
Cold to our chest
Did I fail you?
Did I fail love?
Oh, here I am
Stealing the heat from your back
Still tracing the wall
Where your shadow was cast
With every voice
Whispering to us
“It's not lost
It's not lost”
Did I love in disguise?
I built an altar to your silence
Meant to undraw every line
Wore your loneliness so fondly
Could you keep the restless still?
The future stuck inside your throat
Once worth letting go
I can't tell selfishness from love anymore
Oh, here we are
Here we are
Here we are, dear
Are we near to the end?
Draining the hole
This ghost of thing
Alien being
That was once love
Is it still love?
Oh, here I am stealing the cloth from your back
Still pulling out every thread for a song
And maybe I'll stay
Or maybe I'll hear
The tiniest voice
Whispering to me
“Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go”
