White curtains moving slowly

Moonlight across your skin

You hold me like a secret

Like something wearing thin

Your breath against my shoulder

Soft waves beneath the dark

I already feel the ending

Still I don’t pull apart

Beautiful things fade quietly

That’s what scares me most

This is our swan song

Slow hands, pale water

You look holy in the low light

Like heaven leaning closer

This is our swan song

Two hearts going under

And I still want your love

Even at the end of us

Your fingers trace my ribs slow

Like counting every scar

Outside the night keeps turning

Inside we stay where we are

Your eyes drift somewhere distant

Still locked onto mine

Like you’re trying to memorize me

Before goodbye arrives

If morning takes you from me

Leave your shadow in the sheets

I’ll still hear your voice in quiet rooms

Like water underneath

This is our swan song

White breath in the dark

Holding onto something fragile

While it falls apart

This is our swan song

Black tide, slow motion

Beautiful things drown softly

And so do we
