Crawling Back
I love the way you come crawling back
Sing false promises
How birds chirp meaningless melody
Turn white morning air to grey diluted clouds
I appreciate how nature is always concrete
Honking goodbyes are fowl flying above our foolish heads
In dark black pupils stories rooted so deep they will never be told
Against skies of blue-black and pink pose in continuous grace
I adore the way you hunt me like a wild predator prowling for it's next meal
I keep track of the number of times you plunge on me
Teeth puncturing prey
Tearing into shreds
And dreams we shared shatter before my empty eyes
You'll come back
You always do
Attracted due to an invisible natural force
Too dynamic to resist
Take a bite of my heart tonight
