Alive at Night
We swam in the blue pond
The stars our ceiling
A map of our dreams
Burning bright
And you stayed with me when everyone had left
You stayed with me
The fire between us was my heart
Snack Shack excited us
Picking the locks with delight
Climbing the fence, walking on the roof
Smoking on the playground
I slid down with a thrill
You make me feel alive and you don’t even know
You do not even know
How you make my heart beat fast when you speak
And skip when you look at me
And the things you do
You don’t even know that you can break me
You shattered my heart, you killed me
You consumed my fire
With you're power
Power that kills
That breaks hearts
And hearts
Die
