The Lack There Of

My love floats for you

Break incase of emergency

I’m broken over you

I’m drowning baby

All I want to do is hold you close

Paralyzed in time

Roses blowing in the wind

Tie me up

Tie me down

Hold me up

Hold me down

You are the instrumental that made me feel alright

And even when your beauty stops singing

I still hum your melody to myself

I don’t smile as hard as I do unless I’m around you

Living in a city of glass

I just try not to cut myself when buildings break

Because I pray at night

That it’ll all be better in the morning

slow roasted angels

Gas and a light

Losing my sanity

When the rules are retroactive

And history is erased right before your eyes

Your eyes

I could stare at them all summer

Blink slower baby

This anxiety is eating me from the inside

Laziness is a disease

Feel weak like one of those dreams

The ones where you just let things happen

And you just watch

Only by accident should you be so lucky

And even then, could you defend it from them?

We risk our lives for what?

Scared to die, why?

If you win when no one wants to play anymore,

Does it still count?

I used to be afraid of ghosts

But not now

You are the pretty thing that lives in my head

And we wanted to be the sky…

Where I am…

where I am supposed to be…

and where I want to be.

Running from my problems until I run out of breath. I’ve exhausted my resources and my body but my mind keeps telling me to run. These problems are too big to fight. They’ve been here before me, and they’ll be here after me. I can keep running but I’m getting tired. That’s when I saw. I saw you running too. My glance was met with your eyes and in them I saw myself. We didn’t even stop to compare demons for fear of both being caught, but from that point on we ran together and everything made sense. Hide in hotels, love doesn’t cost much. Love me until everything hurts, and love me until I can’t breath, and love me until I can’t pay anymore. They’re catching up to us again. The demons, they hide in the shadows, but I can see them. It’s going to be dark again. I can feel it. The sun is a liar. Please stay this time? “I can’t” it says, “others need me elsewhere just like you do, I’ll be back tommorow.” The sun is a liar. We have to keep running, if we fight we will be possessed, and become exactly those from which we run. You give me a look and I know exactly what it means, you’re tired. I’ve seen the same thing when I get a chance to see my reflection sometimes. I open the door and began to chase the sun again. You stayed, I kept running…
