Slowly, slowly my name rings to my ears.

Convinced my core not to turn around—

And see the empty seat it fears.

Did I make a mistake crying out loud?

So deep, so deep your ghost calls out my name;

The rasp that haunts the new home.

Our rays, straight off to the drain,

Cut by weakness of my own.

Tomorrow appeals to my soul;

Why should I look back?

I fly too high and now I fall.

Will you still say it back?

Your trails they drip with blood.

River flows through my pillows.

Filled with everything we had,

My eyes reflect in yours.

(Note: Yes, I originally posted RANDOM poems related to Gio and Marinela here before their voices became too loud that I just had to publish a literary piece of their own. You can read their hearts in "Immaterial".)
