Jan 2019
he lets her win every fight
with a smile like bribery
she knows she's unsafe
he seems to think so
they're hopeless,
they know they will
end up laying it all on the table someday
walk away, if she wants to be free

each secret like a surgery
each one cuts a little deeper
each one raises uncertainty
but he knows they'll come out the other side
they'll be stronger than they were
becoming vulnerable to her
unveil the darkest side of each other
and she'll fall a little deeper
for each small discovery
pulls her closer to you
