love tasted different on your lips, sweeter, and more kind, smooth going down. there's a softness in your heart, a place I'd never been to before, the oceans in your eyes, so blue I drown in them, hands that I could hold onto, and arms that keep me safe. but why is it now that every time you make me laugh, I cough up blood? there's a thunderstorm in your heart and a hurricane in your mind. my umbrella can't keep us safe from the storms raging under your skin.

i'm drowning in these floods and i never learned how to swim
