Slow down
You are all alone now
You have always been alone

Drink this potion
Until you feel warm
And understand that you will never get

What you thought you needed

To keep breathing was,

Me.

Swing with me
Until the world swirls

And colors of the sky begin to blend
Be patient

For the sun will set


And your secrets will be safe

Under the moon


We will make promises
To stay together

Through all things that make up forever

I can no longer fall in love

Anymore, in this way.

It is too difficult to tame

To understand, you

Reminded of a evening summer breeze

Warm and fleeting

We were meant to stay the same

Through all the seasons

Even when the snow covered the ground

And loneliness burned my cheeks with shame

Because understanding was different from saying,

"I am no longer able to fall in love, with you, this way."

I
Have fallen through
Under the water
Not understanding
Anything at all

You
Listen to the
Gossip of the wind
Closing your eyes

Disbelieving of love.

The floors are hard
And difficult to get through

But never have I tried
Since I know what can and cannot be done

And my mother says
Keep your head

When falling in love

The sounds you make
When walking away
Make a continuous echo
Against these four empty walls

I am sad tonight
I think I will cry

Until the moon is swallowed by the night clouds

I am angry tonight
I think I will scream

Until the sun rises

I am lost tonight
I think I will run

Until the frigid December air burns my lungs

I am lonely tonight
I think I will sleep

Until someone decides to wake me
