| So striking, I swear you leveled me with a look,
|
| reminded me of my breathing patterns,
|
| ran your hands through the grease and set fire to my face,
|
| seduced a love to grief and left the same as you came,
|
| we were based on an end,
|
| It’s as if everyone always arrives already gone,
|
| some say love is a river and the wetness behind my ears puts out the wick,
|
| some say love is time, I helped you pass,
|
| love is location, we were just circumstance,
|
| could almost smell the must, the urgency
|
| I knew better, I just didn’t care,
|
| but I think that I felt more inside you than I would have liked,
|
| you carved me rigid, and I hate you for it you were everything I wanted at night,
|
| you were a dream, but come light,
|
| I lost what I saw in you,
|
| through those somber windows,
|
| we were addicted to the moon light lines in my old room,
|
| and I couldn’t tell us apart. |
