Silver Lining

You make me want to cling to you

Tight fingers wrapping round and pulling closer

One more drink till baby's doom

And it couldn't feel any better

Soft whispers elevate

And your voice pulls me back to the ground.

 

I looked at you and it felt peaceful

To open my eyes for the first time

I want to be a part of whatever this is

I want to stay awake until my eyes close themselves

And I can rest back in your arms

My mind racing

But these thoughts don't hurt me,

Those dreams taste sweet

 

Then the smoke covered my eyes

Enveloped by your hands I gave myself

And I wanted to, it felt good

Edging ever closer to tipping point

You pulled me right back

This feels like the first time

And it feels real

You pulled my head out of the clouds

And now I live in that silver lining
