I long to erase my pain in your skin for one breathless drowning moment
To dissapear, dissolve in atonement
Hold my breath and fall into you, so focused that I don't even notice
When my own breath hitches, when I leave my own body flowing out in tears or sobs of another sort
Not sure what shore I am washing up on, just knowing I'm gone, what relief
My release, your release, yet both those escapes are such a brief reprieve -
Just a tease of peace and sanity I've not yet fully earned.
