The dull grey afternoon light filters through the half-closed shutters, painting bars of shadow across the dusty floorboards. The air hangs thick with the scent of metal and sweat, heavy as a guilty secret. The only sound piercing the silence is the ragged rhythm of your breathing, punctuated by the dull thud of my own heartbeat.

We loved each other, we ruined each other, and I don't even know where the tracks came off. you... Why didn't you ever know when to stop?
