To think that this would work
I can feel your heart in my hands
Beating
Keeping you alive
Ticking
Like a time bomb
I can feel the blood run
Between my fingers
Like cold realization
I know this cannot last
And I think you do too
But we hide the realization
Behind smiles
And closed doors
We say soft things
That drip with artificial sweetness
And we try to make it work
But yesterday I learned
We are just
April fools
