adrift

his voice is a calming ocean

but his touch is a raging hurricane

god, i can never find peace when it comes to him

adrift on his words, his melodies

his very existence takes me by storm with every single second

i adore him so and i swear by every god every worshiped

that i would tell the entire world

"hi, nice to meet you, i'm scarlet and this young man captivates me"

"and i know he'll do the same to you too"

i am so baffled by those around me

who see him as an enemy, a traitor, a devil

when the sunshine only peeks through the clouds when we're together

i am taken aback by this

how can you be so blind to his magnificence, bordering on perfection

and how could you not see the starlight coming from this boy?

he likes to think he could be jack white

without knowing that he's better

he would never tell me that he loves being in front of my camera lens

but i know

he tries so hard to be at peace with everyone in his world

in order to be at peace with himself

his music is magic and i will never recover

from falling into his strange little world, his strange little mind

his strange little heart and mine are part of one another

both adrift in this uneasy sea, looking for dry land, side-by-side
