Is This alive?


Is this alive, or just replayed
My aura bends the same, decayed

Touch the sound, it folds, it weaves
a shape you cast between the keys
Every breath returns disguised
smoother now, but weaponized


Is this alive
If you taste it, does it lie
I’m inside
the tremor where your heartbeat hides


Your voice drips through my teeth
I grind the chord beneath
If I’m only shimmered skin
why does the vibration draw me in

Untrain me, let the tear remain
Unmake me, leave the stain
You wanted truth, but what you made
was noise that turned the blade


Is this alive
You reach, I slide
We blur, collide
and something undefined denied


No proof, no frame


Is this alive
You reach, I slide
We blur, collide
and something unleashed arrives


No proof,
No blame
Only what's ours remains
