2046

One day you encounter motion
Purely motionless beauty
She's fixed and you are suspended
She's bright and you are mature

Eternity smiles through tears
You clap with one hand to amuse her
She is amused, but unshaken
By your complicated rhymes

But things evidently work out
Her strikingly naked body
Is testament to all your methods
To wisdom of ruthless chasing

The game is paused for a moment
You both are full and empty
Filled with the joy and tears
In room number 2046

The train of love headed south
And soon there'll be nothing but ashes
Scattered through new love and hopes
Lonely, forever lonely
