Just Remind Me


Baby doll

Like the sun

Too much light

I burn

Under your touch

It feels good

Better then I want it to

But I know for sure

I want you

More then I want tomorrow

Can you borrow

A little more sunlight

Take me under

Tonight

 

Like the sweetest poison

I die

Slowly

Under your body

Like I'm suffocating

It has nothing

To do with you

But I'm drowning

Going under the current

If I didn't love you

So damn much

Maybe I wouldn't wilt

Under your touch

Knowing

What I know

Knowing

I have to go

 

I would give you

My forever

If it was something

I could secure

For you

If I knew for sure

Who I was

Maybe this

Wouldn't be so confusing

I wouldn't use

And abuse

I wouldn't hurt you

When I hurt too

I wouldn't feel the need

To make you bleed

When I break open

Like I do

But something about you

Makes forgetting so easy

Too easy

 

Just remind me

To unclench my fists

When you touch me

Just tell me

To slow down

When I pull you under

With nails

Piercing the skin

Just warn me

When I'm getting too far away

To save

To know

Just let me know

When I try to let go

When I say no

Even when it's the best

For me

Just remind me

To breathe

When I forget
