Would you trust me? Dance with me? Dance with me. Lets dance to music only we can hear “Let’s” We moved our feet to the tune of a harp so delicate That it didn’t even feel like dancing It felt like floating so high up We could’ve French kissed the heavens Leaving our bodies behind Soaking in our surroundings Soul on soul And that’s when I fell so hard in love I was drawn right back into my body. At that moment I knew I knew that the hanging gardens of Babylon were hidden in the plums of your cheeks The lighthouse of Alexandria was dug deep into your iris That who ever built the temple of Artemisia was inspired by the wonders of your mind. I was never good at dancing, You didn’t mind at first But I stepped on your toes one too many times, And with every apology I blurted, I watched the light in your eyes grow brighter That’s when I knew, That’s when I knew that all that radiating light wasn’t the lighthouse of Alexandria It was just reflections off all the exit signs All the stop signs Turn back signs Dead end signs You’ve always had one foot out the ******* door, You were a runner and you were always ready Ready to sprint so far across the country at the slightest scent of commitment And so you ran and I followed Until my legs felt like twigs that can no longer support me Until my heart couldn’t beat any harder I chased after your trail of dust until there was no trail left to follow You’ve always had such a light step to you, I used to love it when we’d dance I used to love it before it had me chasing ghosts across a dessert so empty that it starts to look like the grains of sand were shards of my heart.
“I water my plants until they drown & this is the only way i know how to love”
