final

i am the wave of razors, crashing into your sea of skin

the grey cloud overhead brings a smile

this overwhelming feeling makes way for the pins and needles

settle down, settle this down

uninterested eyes focus on easy targets

touch the sweetest cheek

fall victim to infatuation 

settle now, settle with me now

cancer of the heart

love cannot be a disease

after all the breakdowns and early a.m. fights

i find myself wanting to crawl back into your arms

there is no shame in the intimate

lovers who are fighters

live to be forgotten, but die a sultry death

birds on a line, resting their tired wings

i'm laying in the grass, resting my weary bones

take away my blood, and my body will still function

i run off hopes and dreams

the books i've read and studied, the finest

the body i have touched and studied, the finest

you're the walking dictionary of mind and beauty

the greatest achievement in a lesser human being such as myself

i tried to hold on

afraid the world would know of my secret

but my arms grew weak and i couldn't hold on

i couldn't hold you

now i sit and wait

for the day, she returns

and i'll take her in my grasp and never let her go

please, please come back.
