in the last throes, we were chained by bonds of my imaginings as I tried to drag you forwards and you were an immovable object until the shackles broke and the scales fell from my eyes and I realised you were moving too but in the opposite direction and I’d just been too blind to see.
No matter how many times I tell you You will never know All of your blinders up Walls built Soundproof So you can’t hear my heart stop The second I see your face And you give me advice The kind a best friend shares When trying to break your slump But it’s you Who causes my slump every time Ignoring the signs Running in circles for years But meeting in the middle When the timing somehow suits you And I live along those moments Walking the tightrope Between wanting to love you And telling you to simply *******
All of your one word answers Fall on deaf ears I’ve fallen apart Disconnected And I’m back at the start When we would talk for hours And laugh at all the same parts
Washing my hands Doing my ***** laundry On rocks of regret Wondering Just what got into me Crawling under my skin Without my noticing Catching me off guard Unstable and insecure You are the virus Overtaking me from every angle Until my brain is drowning In thoughts of you memories replaying on a loop Wondering just how you got here And how you’ve planned your escape Or if you’ve decided to haunt me Infinitely until I’ve returned to you But that day will never come Beaten and bruised From the saga of our downfall Unable to return To the scene of the crime The one where you mistook me For some kind of fool And fed me lies Until I was choking on proof Leaving me abandoned Searching for the truth
Lost In this moment Where our lips touch And the world falls away Terrified For the seconds Where this ends And we return To the world Released From this spell Cast over us In those minutes of ardor Consumed by each other Blinded by the light we create Ignorant to the circumstances Uncaring of the consequence Then the sun rises And we find ourselves Alone Once again Echoes of the night before Haunting us Creating an intense desire Feeling wicked
Wanting so desperately To give myself to you Lost in the idea That this might unfold The way we’d hoped Dreaming out loud About the future Knowing tomorrow Is never guaranteed Because we’ve been here before Caught in the crossroads Of who we are And who we used to be Searching the seams of each other Hoping to find meaning In the passion of your kiss An explosion of sorts Where our mouths crash And the tide rises within us
your affection waxes and wanes like the moon but unlike her you come and go in no discernible patterns you leave me parched for a glimpse you let me glut on your presence i sit shrouded in the dark with my heart in my hands and a telescope of yearning
In the quiet of this empty room Only the sound of our voices Echoing to emphasize The importance of our words Vital to our sanity And this endless back and forth Love me Hate me Create and destroy me But for ***’s sake let me be One way or the other Allow me the ability To move past this twisted torture The one where you push me away And then spill your kindred soul So I have no choice but to crawl right back As sure as the sun rises and sets Falling right back into your web And hoping you don’t devour me
