Just a cut. The moment freezes. We are solitary as the world spins around us Colours merge into one Fear gushes inside of me Panic spreads as I feel it forcing upwards I can’t move from your electric gaze Accusations spit from your wretched eyes like bullets You search my face for an explanation - I attempt a smile, and the tension crackles away. Relief floods through me But such a fleeting moment Will always hang in time, Leaving a gap stretching far into the distance, And a truth neither of us will voice But both of us will always remember. I hear myself repeat the words I uttered Seemingly once in another, far-away lifetime - Cut. Just a cut. But my voice cracks and fades And you are staring out of the window. A vague movement and you finally drop my arm Like a lead weight too heavy to carry. I automatically rub the spot you clutched Laughing slightly hysterically as I notice how ironic it is That your fingers made an angrier mark Than the cut. Just a cut.
