I feel your fingers trace gently
The shape of my heart
Every time a new piece of art
In my mind a permanent etching of love that is shared
Framed in my soul
An eternity paired

Equidistant
Suspended animation
Caught between
Living in a dream
Not quite in your heart
Not shut out
Your gravity has pulled me in
I can't go now
Lock to my heart
On the ocean floor
Flooded with wonder
I have to know
Watching light seep into my world
A million songs couldn't contain
Words in my heart that I need to explain
Darkness coming
Quickly now
Pull me in
Cast me out

Soft and slow
Hard and fast
I fell for you
In future in past
Distance between
Inches apart
Breath to breath
Heart to heart
Silly nicknames
Lyrics sent
Secrets shared
All of it meant
Soul to soul
Laugh for laugh
My life is changed
I won't take it back

The day is long
The water is deep
I am drowning
Not knowing what you need
Nothing has changed
Yet everything is different
Crazy is what it seems
Do I listen to the words
Are actions what I dream
A thirst for answers
The knowledge I need
A peace of mind
I need to be freed
From the questions inside
Voiced with no answer
Begging for scraps
A dog on your floor
Is this what my heart is for?
Tell it to me straight
It's what I need to know
Do I stay right here?
Do I pack my griefcase and go?

To the observer
On the surface all is calm and serene
An oasis, a river flowing down a mountainside green
Underneath in the current
What remains unseen
A creature bound in the rocks and the reeds
Writhing, screaming, contorting in pain
Inviting an end that is much more humane
These crushing boulders pin down no matter how hard the pull to escape
Desperate for oxygen, yet none to be found
A final shriek filled with water that won't make a sound

I am yearning for a grave
To be my forever home
A place to go and rest
While being torn flesh from bone
Somewhere to close my eyes
To know I'm to hurt no more
A tranquil space for this ragged heart
That was stomped to death on your floor

Love to love
Lust to lust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Because my brain in swimming in a goo that is made of me and you.
There are quiet moments loud as screams, but nothing compares to the waking dreams
Where laughter is shared and fun is felt in our own little world
Where we can help but leave all our problems ignored
