You Saw Birds, I Saw DNA Strands

You saw birds, I saw DNA strains

Body aches and growing pains

The exhibition held our silence

Made me question the mundane

We left it in a place of post-lust / pre-love

And never met again

You saw birds, I saw DNA strains

Left feeling slighted, robbed without fighting

16 days away

I sent a birthday card

I trust that you're okay

I'm honestly sorry that we left it this way

Our frequent meetings sold my sadness

Then I'd get back on the train

It never ended, the daily confessions

Now I don't see her the same

I won't reach out again

But I hope that you're okay

Left feeling slighted, robbed without fighting

16 days away

The future frightens, my chest tightens

Ditched on a whim again

You saw birds, I saw DNA strains
