The echoes of my voice
Leave you with a choice
Which road do you walk down ?What is your fear?
That you may drown
While the ship sinks
As the fireworks go off in your head
Was that the last time
As I left your bed
With your arms outstretched
As my words dripped like honey
And your desires I read with one look
Do we let our fingers forever reach
But never touch
Home where we both felt safe
Where adolescent dreams became a reality
As time ticked on and on
we'd become a shadow of what we were supposed to be
Your image forever in my head
In the sentences swimming before my eyes
As I walked down the platform of my former self
And shed past hurts like fishes  scales
We replaced them with wings that summer of our content
You picked up my smile
I gave you your unpredictable
We had the ability to scratch away the ambiguity
To hold out our hands to receive
Our destinies
We made each other's skin sigh
As we looked up at a cloudless sky
My future and past collided in your presence
So now as we sit shaking our heads
As your scorpion tail flicks laden with venom
My spiteful words freeze with a premonition
I'd like to suture the ruptures
Recapture the serendipity
The alchemy
That meant we had a future
Not just a history
