Signal

We are lost in translation.
We are together in the isolation of these walls.
The sound of our hearts beating in time rings in the empty room like a bell signalling the end.
The end of time. The end of people, the end of us.
Our love is incompatible with humanity.
A love lost between the languages,
A love on the lines of right and wrong.
Between Good and bad, God and Satan.
I remember the first time you reached out for me.
You finally let yourself fall and collapse.
I wish the walls of this place would crumble like you did.
Our secret so shameful and sinful that we are here,
Hiding from everyone we love, hiding from the world that condemned us.
They would be here soon, to take you away from me.
To demonise you and blame you for our love.
I don’t want to see you die but I can’t stand to see you live without me.
I know the minute my hand leaves yours you will fall.
Like the wall that separated us did.
I would rather stay trapped here forever, with you in my arms.
My arms around your waist are the only things keeping us afloat right now.
Drowning in their screams, their cries, and their blame.
They have your blood on their hands tonight.
They have your life in the palm of their hands,
I hope they cry, because I will.
Goodbye.
