Gang Green

Death, I've seen through my mother's shallow breaths

The whisper of sadness moving into my head

That thing pushing and pulling inside my chest is skipping

Jumping and leaping at an irregular pace

The balloon of air is full but I feel asphyxiated by the pain

Numbing legs crawling to my head, every second seems like a century at haste

 

Death is for those who live, and sip the morning sun

Or for those who walk and feel the wind in their palm

I'm a diabetic walking on a candy store

With you as a tootsie roll

I can look and leer holes through your soul

But I cant taste let my lips drown into your

Wishing a chance to feel your warmth and the sweetness you have wrapped

 

A different kind of death I feel when you're around

The kind that kills me and bring me to life at the same time

The kind that creates a memory for me to smile to and frail at the same time

Stopping this borderline obsession, there is no chance

You've cut my legs down so I cant run, and hide from your charms

In my blood you slowly dine , leaving me no choice but to wait and die

This is a one-sided love that I just cant seem to move on from. Silly me
