Out of Lip-sync

Her lips move
but there is no sound

Her eyes shine
but there is no light

Her hands freeze
but there is no chill

Her fingers coil
but there's no handhold


He gives voice
but the words are lost

He lights fire
but it turns to embers

He pulls close
but is pushed away

He reaches out
but does not find


No more sound
No more sight
No more warmth
No more touch
Nothing

Out of sync
