As I gasp for air
like I do for your attention

I know I'm standing on the edge of the cliff
wanting you with those intentions

How can I keep giving all of my love
while you keep me starving

How can I keep cutting my heart open
to fit you inside

How can I keep running on thorns
just to get back to you each time

What is this cycle
When does it end.....

I keep dead flowers by my bedside  
Watering them every day
I leave them out in the sun
Hoping I can revive them someday
Maybe I want the same
for my heart

It's easy to love the ocean from the shore
I'd like to see you dive head-first
Into its heart
Without the fear of drowning
Then you can say you love it fully

I have been looking
for love
all my life

on bookshelves
and coat hangers

on the back of an old bus
and behind the window of a cafe

on snowy mountain tops
and near the ocean waves

The more I look
the more lost I get

I was born in autumn
maybe that's why
I know how to fall apart
so well

Death is my lover
We like to play hide and seek
the day he finds me
is the day I rest
forever
