Your words are warm stone
They smell of sugared sewage
They sound like blooming flowers from persistent weeds
They look like peaceful lies
They taste like wild-berry liquor
They feel like all the safety I want
And all the pain I don’t
Your words are warm stone
They smell of sugared sewage
They sound like blooming flowers from persistent weeds
They look like peaceful lies
They taste like wild-berry liquor
They feel like all the safety I want
And all the pain I don’t
I can care
and desire a different path
with you
but I must let go
and stay silent and away
from you
Only the lonely
Or something else they say
Tears dry before sand can melt
The glass window hides your face
Watch the rain slide down the panel
Sit in the chair alone
You came in with the wind
swallowed my heart whole
with only a wasted tear to show
still unable to fall from my face
because you haunt my dreams tonight
misunderstanding actions you say to me
without words to rely on
lies over shadowed by actions
and tomorrow you follow me home
so why should I say no
you’re my personal poison
left on the doorstep
waiting for a life shattering event
to drink and take me whole
or to destroy
Expected fear, impatience
Tell me, fix me
Feel my mind
Hold my pain
Rock me for sleep
Listen to nothing
Show your understanding
Tell me lies, tell me your heart
Expect the same
