Save me


Take my breath

set my heart on fire 

 

A place of rememberance

cooling coals, 

the light fades

from our definition of life 

mistakes of DNA and intertwined fate

your mess of life thrills me

with these hallowed walls

Im a sinner born to drink poisoned water 

 

But your laugh tells me it's just fine

I guess you're just like that

a strange wind on a still night 

 

In a dark time

could you feel me out?

recognize these jagged lines and sunken skin

 

Pebbles and puddles, i'm a disruption to a loving song, it shouldn't move

i'm not ready

i've seen the other side

not on heart but perchance 

a roaring flame 

 

Im not with it, you're set on being loved
