Lukewarm autumn baths 

Soaking hair in candlelights 

I hear your screams 

Hear the echoes of the morning dew 


You call my name 

The satisfaction of the absence 

Leaves my fingertips 

Reaching out for lonely heroes 


Your cracked voice 

Lingers absurdly in my ears 

I wash the whispers 

Clean my charcoal heart 


The rhyme is not a rhyme 

When mind floats above you

I tilt my head up 

And the ceiling caves in


Whilst you're still the hero

I never had a chance to push away
