"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul."

you are my dark thing.
that beautiful, painful secret i keep from the world.

can i be your dark thing?
no one ever has to see,
i just need you to love me as certain dark things are to be loved.

let's be dark things together.
creatures, monsters in secret.
between the chaos and the light.

I lost myself finding you.

You scared me that day
So I spent hours bringing you
back.
But on the way I dropped myself
and became your doll
So now I sit on your shelf
Until you lose yourself
again.

I found myself leaving you.

I can't see me unless I have a mirror.
I can see everyone through that glass.
But they are looking at themselves.

Hearts beat a rhythm all the same
As the workers in the factories
Pounding for their pay
Feet stomp a pattern all the same
As the birds in the skies
Looking for their way
Nobody lives without following the beat all the same
We all find it and look for something more
But we don’t need anything more
Than this rhythm, this beat
And when it stops that’s when I’ll meet
Her again.

The world will empty
Eventually
You’ll find your way out
Be it space or death
Ultimately
The world will empty
