What happened to us.
One day you stopped trying to open my head and my chest to pick at my secret's
One day my secret's just became mine again
No longer something we shared between the sheets in hushed whispers when the world was long past asleep

I tilt my face up and let the moon reflect against my skin
I dare you to break me

Being with you is like trying to thread a string through a needle
I'm not quite sure it fits

I can taste you on my lips like liquor
Shooting the feeling of heavy and smooth straight into my blood

Your roots are taking shape
Shooting into the ground and forming a solid foundation with so much strength and love it's shattering
So what do you do?
Do you water the plant?
Or leave it to die?

You're scared to look at me because I'm the part of yourself you lock in a box and leave to collect dust
I'm the reflection you're terrified to face

You make my heart beat
like a drum echoing in a
darkened hallway
