Delilah baby I can feel the weight of you in my arms.

I can feel my k to z love for you and see how that laugh of yours makes people cry
and how that smile pierces my heart because it looks just like his did.

I can feel the sun kissing each one of our toes as we sit overlooking the grand canyon in the kaleidoscope sunset.
your spider fingers are wrapped in my hair like a plea to never be left alone
your spindle legs are all knobby kneed and pale entwined with mine.

baby he left me not you.

I was a hurricane and he loved you too much to look

afraid that one glance and he'd be head over heels reeling out of control
like you were the drug and he was the addict.

they say everything happens for a reason and you are my reason.

Delilah baby you are the here and the now of forever.
the stop sign on the corner is an obstacle for street racers but its a godsend because its just enough of a pause for me to kiss you between the eyes.

and I can't ever finish anything so this story isn't complete

and at the top of the pass where the air is clear enough if we sing loud enough maybe he will hear us and remember who he left behind.
Look, I'm sorry
Go ahead and hate me
I know I deserve it
I told you I'm a **** up
I'm sorry I said I loved you
I should've never let those words escape my lips
I feel like I've given you a false hope
Now we're stuck in this mess
I'm not saying I don't love you
I'm saying that I can't and I know you know why
I've killed your heart and probably your mind
Now mine are filled with hate for myself
I'm not asking for forgiveness
I don't think I can make this right but just maybe I can try
Stop saying it's your fault when I was the one to start it all
Telling you all this I've brought you back to my level
We cause ourselves so much pain
**** I wish I could forget it
Instead I sit here and regret it
I'm drowning in my mind
I'm falling to the dark and I embrace it
I know I've fallen far behind
I can hear the clock counting down my days bit by bit
Trying to use the edge of a blade to take the pain away
But for me there is no first aid and the pain just drives me insane
I'm helpless against depressions attack

Until suddenly time stops

There's a hand on my back and my bubble of loneliness pops
I'm being pulled back to a good reality
I see your face and I know I'm saved
I know you will protect me, from horrors we both have braved
I will return all the care you give because as lovers and friend it's what we do
For as long as we may live, this is my thank you.
Just a bit of a rough patch in my life but I'm better now
Paper is like trust
Once torn never undone
A wall crumbled to dust
I say I trust you
Don't make me regret it
Because if you do
You won't forget it
I feel like I'm running out of time
But trust me I'm trying to make it out alive
And know that I won't wind up dead
Although these thoughts do run through my head
But don't worry about me I'll be okay
Just gotta get past this game my mind plays
I know I'm standing in the edge
But it's alright because I make this pledge
To never ever fall, I'll risk it all
To be with you
Two bodies one soul
Two minds one whole
I'll make it out of the dark
Even if it tears me apart

— The End —
