There's blood between us Choking our throats; A noose brightens before eclipsing crosses Made from ashes Asphyxiating   The water rushes Down my lungs And I'm drowning I call out your name But you won't answer   I stretch out my hand But you're not there I've seen the best and it's over I'm soil and dirt you harvest what's left I know what's there  The tide came in. And washed away. Our names. In the sand. The moon howled. In pain. Like sulfur. Like desire.  It's over. I can drown in you Take my last gasp from you (*it's like the forever we never knew*) I can drown in your kiss My final breath thru your kiss (*it's like the forever we'll miss*) We shine Like diamonds Drowning in water Crystal eyed transcendence Asphyxiating on your blood

Asphyxia
There's blood between us Choking our throats; A noose brightens before eclipsing crosses Made from ashes Asphyxiating   The water rushes Down my lungs And I'm drowning I call out your name But you won't answer   I stretch out my hand But you're not there I've seen the best and it's over I'm soil and dirt you harvest what's left I know what's there  The tide came in. And washed away. Our names. In the sand. The moon howled. In pain. Like sulfur. Like desire.  It's over. I can drown in you Take my last gasp from you (*it's like the forever we never knew*) I can drown in your kiss My final breath thru your kiss (*it's like the forever we'll miss*) We shine Like diamonds Drowning in water Crystal eyed transcendence Asphyxiating on your blood
