Mechanical
Together, we take mechanical steps towards happiness to the beat of two broken hearts who fell in love over a mutual brokeness, out of necessity, and not necessarily by choice
we keep up with the ticking away of our time, bc neither of us want to waste what we have left to share each other's weight before it crashes and we're left with two separate worlds to carry in two separate sets of shoulders,
and do not apologize to me for the robotic way you show affection bc it only makes the world seem larger with the weight of both of our disappointment of what might have been but never quite was
