Space

I cried tears of stone

whilst you stroked my hollow back,

all I really need is for you to get this virtual reality away

 

run up to my side with your embrace

warm to feel, cold to think

how I allow myself into this?

its sad to think

this is my idea of happiness

when I'm really stuck in a vacuum of clouded dust

 

everything I do is all for you

I know you like all the broken ones

and you try to fix them with your big and unruly hands

but you mangle and twist them into your sweetening mind

and can't escape the vortex

 

my messed up mind is what you love

you love the way I confess my deepest fears

and how I run my hands through your perfect hair

how I wipe the poison from your lips.

you're blind to how your eyes still dance around my head

and how your scent is still running through my veins

how I tilt my head so my tears won't be swallowed.

 

I love your mentality

and I love how you see the stars in storms

I love how you capture my attention

and I love how you say you wouldn't want me any other way

but my cloudy eyes want you to see

how I see myself

 

we have something they'll never have

dance around the woods then push me into a shallow stream

and you'll find out just how much I mean to you.

 

I don't want to share you with the world

because I have galaxies growing inside of me. I'm afraid

you might be one of them

and I can't get away
