themes: nostalgia, longing, heartbreak

the greatest heartbreak of all

wasn't when you walked away

but instead it's the moments of you

simply becoming the memory of you

perhaps we were the heroes

of our own greek tragedy

our bodies sculpted into time

eyes fixating flames on each other

perhaps we were the artists

of the greatest renaissance

our bodies painted hand in hand

a rebirth of all we have known

the crumbling of our statues

was inevitable like an empire's fall

the burning of our genius

should have been foreseen

all that's left of a memory

is the nostalgia of what never was

just a girl with daisies in her hair

and a boy with cigarettes in his pocket
