Skyline

by elliefordelliott

He's a skyline Endless highs wash and glide over my eyelids sparkling wide like the sea Hook line and sinker, those blue green irises sure do allure a girl like me Caught in the West-side stormy horizons around his pupils Falling deep into his sunny day Harbourside gaze And he wonders aloud why I'm so dazed so I say yeah, honey, yeah no, I'm great He's a skyline Running along avenues of my skin like a city that he's glad as fuck to be locked in Climbing streetlights and smoking trees like it's easy Feels me in like a summer breeze 'cause it thrills me Writhing like a motorway, scaling ribcages like a multi-storey I think he might want to stay, I know cities have a certain glory I curl up in the curve of his spine like a half pipe I know he'll keep me safe, he's positive like his blood type Early morning grey he stands on top of the world with me, and his heart shaped face breaks me out of boxes I didn't know I had in me. He's a skyline I know all the words to his sunset car songs He likes the windows down and we both like to sing along And when we go in circles, slipping past the road to the M5 We just turn the volume up and let the whole world just pass us by It's true what they say that time flies I can't hold onto these eternities in every easy moment, but I, I know I'm shotgun eternally, double barrel shots of red wine and he's gonna think this is funny now 'cause I can't find a clever rhyme Still, We're a skyline; an only-way-is-up vertical horizon of opportunity and he knows exactly where to drive to get into my brain, and It's only us in the whole place and our bodies breathe adventure 'cause all I see is his face Close to mine, eyes shining like the universe awaits With fingers intertwined like atoms in space The catalyst for my daydreams is the rave where time stopped on the bass notes So I could build a wall right up to his skyline for all my high hopes But he breaks it down every time I fall asleep in his arms Hearts replace guards, never felt so good to be disarmed.
