the rest of the world is eerily quiet around me,

youre hundreds of miles away in the city that never sleeps.

its amazes me how different lives we live,

yet our hearts beat to the same broken rhythm.

science once taught me that opposites attract,

and our chemistry proved just that.

if our biological composition is correct,

you and i make a double helix. 

unfortunately for us, science was never my best subject -

my greatest weakness, in fact, until i met you.

now my worst subject is anatomy,

because these bones have no structure,

these organs have no purpose, 

this skin has no layers because 

you peeled them all back like an onion,

and now we're both crying, love.

you are the reason for every shaky breath

of oxygen i exhale tonight in this frigid cold.

a hundred miles away, we see the same moon

but the solar stem in my thorax 

no longer revolves around your sun.
