Nov 2015
you were afraid of what we could become
addicted to destructive love
I've flirted with disasters but
You'll always be my favorite one

Like an earthquake you're sudden
a force I'm not worthy of
but a shift underneath
causes panic above

your unforeseen departure
left me five feet below
under rocks of desolation
in a deluge of woe

you tried, but never tried enough
always said you hated love
if I'd known what an earthquake could do
I'd rather be here than above

It's worth it though it sounds insane
I'm lucky to have known your name
you were something different
in a world that always looks the same
take it for what you will
