Back to you and I'll love you dearly forever

You seem to keep escaping out of my fingertips and
On to my guitar
On to these pages
On to my canvases

You have always been a piece of art
But now I've come along to
try and capture it

I could feel that touch of yours in
every
single
nerve
in my body.

Don't fall in love with a drummer
You will hear him in every beat of every song
You will hear his voice imitate those beats
You will see him and his arms that used to hold you sweep over the cymbals and hollow cylinders
You will feel each hit of his drum sticks in your stomach and lungs instead of on those cymbals and hollow cylinders
You will remember the way he seemed to escape into another place from the moment of first impact
You will feel his arms guide your hands over the correct circles
Like he wanted you to escape with him
You will miss the sounds of him losing himself in the noise
You will miss the feeling of losing yourself in his noise

Why must I get myself stuck
I'm short for air
I can hardly breathe
My heart races fast
I think about my past
It's all too familiar

I pull the moon from the sky
And hand it to you
I take your broken heart
I mend all the pieces
Rid you of your diseases
Where does that leave me

I'm still in the dark
Grasping for air
Suffocating in my own house
Depleted of all my energy
Void of any memory
I am alone

Nothing is what I am
Not to you
Not to her
I'm just a crutch
Until you're on your feet again
I'm on my knees
Washing your feet
You walk away
Leaving me *****

No, I'm not worthy
