The mind has learned the truth,
a verdict laid simple and bare.
Labelled as a name once lost,
now awaiting its own despair.
The heart fell out of rhythm,
no longer able to resonate.
Absent from its own core,
echoes it cannot translate.
The soul finally said it's over,
hoping it would be that easy.
Losing its grip on fate,
drifting beyond, feeling dizzy.
Amidst it all, amidst the end,
the body refuses to rot or burn.
As if every nerve still waits
for a love that will never return.
