there's a place
for those feelings.
those moments

when they take
your
breath
away.

it hurts every
day
and the way
I draw lines
upon your face,

there's a time and place
for all of that too.

for all ive
been through

when they take
your breath
away

you'll be too
busy to
notice.

just focus.

let me absorb all
the pain
and play the game
of refrain.

refrain from all
thought
refrain from all
feeling.

I'll be stealing
every emotion
from your
chest

and I guess
I'll undress
let you see me
for what I am.

can you see me.
for I demand
honesty.

and honestly
can you see me?

flesh and bone
alone
with every sin
in my skin

for when they
take your
breath
away

I'll stay
listen to your
sorrows and worries

don't worry im
in no hurry
to leave.

I'll be soon lost
in your memories
tangled in the past

while im falling
and crawling
to grasp onto
reality

that this is real.

when I steal
an image
from your mind
and unwind
the proof

find truth
when there's
no use
no excuse.

for a mistake
that will
shake and
break this world
to splinters.
