that’ll **** you
you screamed at me
you’re killing me
i whispered
but you couldn’t hear me
as you lifted me from the floor
mediocre adolescence
told me
that to live
to exist in a meaningful way
is to burn your lungs
to break bottles
over your soul
to quiet a throbbing mind
i was refusing to look into your eyes
yet i was starring straight into them
were you scared of me?
you were the ocean
wondrous
a delightfully tempting invite to jump in
i was a storm
the kind of devastation you relish to watch
but dont dare to touch
we met
breathtaking, it may have been
but you were beautiful on your own
and i was nothing without you
you shook me
screaming my name
i couldn’t hear you
yet your words
resonated
even now still
ringing in my ears
dont let me go
dont let me go*
i swear
your eyes were the only thing
keeping me from being torn from the earth
you screamed at me
you’re killing me
i whispered
but you couldn’t hear me
as you lifted me from the floor
mediocre adolescence
told me
that to live
to exist in a meaningful way
is to burn your lungs
to break bottles
over your soul
to quiet a throbbing mind
i was refusing to look into your eyes
yet i was starring straight into them
were you scared of me?
you were the ocean
wondrous
a delightfully tempting invite to jump in
i was a storm
the kind of devastation you relish to watch
but dont dare to touch
we met
breathtaking, it may have been
but you were beautiful on your own
and i was nothing without you
you shook me
screaming my name
i couldn’t hear you
yet your words
resonated
even now still
ringing in my ears
dont let me go
dont let me go*
i swear
your eyes were the only thing
keeping me from being torn from the earth
