Music and CO2

Sweat mingled with tears
Make for guilty relation
This is our only recluse
The bed on your side is cold
Are you gone?
There....there it is again
That familiar song
The air is stale
With that faint musk
And the syllables slip so easily...
Fathombale only to your ear and mine
Soothing your ego
Provoking mine.
