I clench jet wings to keep me high and windswept
Open cargo doors to free the heaviness they kept

You knew I’d fly anywhere you led me
You find comfort as my wits neglect me

Press your smile into my neck til I find it
We play like children, spirits rewinded

Sun salutation in darkness - we’re laughing
Til I lose my footing - the darkness creeps back in

In-house clergy clang Hail Mary through my organs
Sick to my stomach, I let a requiem pour in

Stunningly unlovable, the ugliest seductress
Inevitably ******, penance with reluctance

I knew better than to love like before
When swept off my feet I will groan on the floor
