I feel the plates of the earth pushing us apart We grind and we glide but we never let go I think about you there in the cold winters On my tiny island In my inferno I think about the scruff on your face The rose in your cheeks I wonder about your scent I think about the way your skin must feel Underneath another's nails But in truth I know I deserve no claim My loyalty came with a price And to be fair The wound is still raw Still open Still waiting If waiting for the past makes me a fool Then to hell with wisdom I won't swallow this But today is not the day For resolutions
To be tangled up in a web with someone who won't claim you as their own is to be the frog with the scorpion.
