Save Me

Save me

 

I am the chandelier falling deeper and deeper

I am the rubble born out of the friction between love and lust

I am the lovechild of gold and dust

I am falling

 

My sides crack

Enlarged wrinkles

Clandestine fracks

 

Spare me from the crooked stares of the pixies in the dark

Innocent and untainted

Guiltless and untrapped

 

I am the disjointed words wrecking havoc between your lips

I am the dark circles underneath your cheeks

I am the flaws that you see in the mirror

At 3 in the morning

Free from disguise but

Wrapped up in sin

 

I am the poet who brews trouble

Just to fill my canvas with stormy weather

I am the lover who knows not who sleeps beside me

Because that does not matter

Long as this bed for two is occupied

By an else that I can thread

Two strings need not be attached

Long as warmth finds itself on my shoulder

Care not to whom warmth belongs

 

I am the ship without a name

Sailing freely and untamed

I will tame the sallow seas

Else I would have lived in vain

I am passion with a ransom and a devil on my back

 

I am

I am

 

Save me
