It took me, captured
There was no ransom
Its tendrils held me tight
I was addicted
Lies and tears muddled my vision
Then, it let me go.
Left me slashed and torn
You licked my wounds
Stood me back up
But for you, I fell again.
And now,
Here I am,
Captured.

We will always be alone,
We will always feel the pain,
The realization that love always fades

We will always search for change,
We will never be tame,
The animal inside lives for nothing.

We will never find the answers,
Stuck in a cycle of lonely whimpers.
The curse of the race.

Tighten that smile yet again
I remember the sand beaten swing
Barges, our secret keepers, glide up
Hold my hand and listen to the creaking

That little trucks buzz
I remember the stump that sent us flying
Our kiss was deadly, but only the truck knows
Kiss me yet again and I'll fly with you

We climbed higher and higher
I remember your rough hands
We smiled at each other and jumped
Letting the water wash away the rush

You pressed up against me
I remember all the pictures well
You kissed me slowly, we were home alone
You took me home smiling

The dangerous river seems less inviting
Its currents stopped their beckoning
The wind feels more like a breath
Your smile ended it all
You mesmerize me

I smile at my thoughts
To which you question
Your tongue searching throughout my words
Your eyes take journeys that will never end
Your hands search me looking for the answers
I'll keep you guessing till the very end
