Mutual Core

LETRA

Mutual Core

I shuffle around the tectonic plates in my chest.

You know I gave it all,
try to match our continents
to change seasonal shift,
to form a mutual core.

As fast as your fingernail grows,
the Atlantic ridge drifts
to counteract distance.

You know I gave it all,
can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?
Shuffling of columns
to form a mutual core.

This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn’t know i had it in me,
withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn’t know you had it in you,
you hid the key to our continuity.
I didn’t know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn’t know, you didn’t know.

What you resist persists, nuance makes heat
to counteract distance
I know you gave it all,
offered me harmony if things were done your way.
My Eurasian plate subsumed,
forming a mutual core

This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn’t know I had it in me,
withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn’t know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation
you didn’t know i had it in me
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn’t know, you didn’t know”.
