Clocks chase shadows in fractured time
Our promises dissolve like salt in brine
Paper cranes carry secrets half-confessed
Drowning in tides beneath your eyes' unrest
If memories were unsealed letters
Why do commas pierce like feathered fetters
That rain-soaked tilt of umbrellas we once knew
Now parallel worlds where I still search for you
Flight against light through collapsing stars
Your name ignites embers in these scarred palms
Moon cleaves the sea twin shores apart
I mouth regrets to the crowd's beating heart
If seasons stole the coffee's steam
Would rewound time redeem this scream
Piano keys hold silent chords
Our story fades where ink ignored
