Rewind

Never had I crossed a line

nor claimed to have a sturdy spine.

I misread every single sign

until our limbs had intertwined.

I closed my eyes and I was fine

and only knew your lips on mine.

The pills, the beer, the cheap red wine:

fatal mistakes made by design.

A song on repeat in my mind

you sang to me in almost-rhyme. 

Dancing atoms, now combined,

space and time left undefined,

I'm staying here - leave me behind -

I am a dream you can't rewind.
