|
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. |
