Sigh

Put your lips close to mine

As long as they don't touch

Out of focus, eye to eye

Till the gravity's too much

And I'll do anything you say

If you say it with your hands

And I'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

And I like it.

I can't decide if it's a choice

Getting swept away

I hear the sound of my own voice

Asking you to stay

And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along

Forever going with the flow, but you're friction

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

And I like it

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night

And I will get you and get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind

And I just think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive 

and I will follow you home

This hope is treacherous

This daydream is dangerous

This hope is treacherous

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night

And I will get you, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind

And I just think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive 

and I will follow you home

This slope is treacherous

 I like it

deep shit

Sinking deep
down
trapped, and no matter how much I
struggle. Only further into the mess
I know I myself have created.

But the warmth, it calls to me.
envelopes me and wraps me in
a cocoon of promises.

I know, when I can still think
I can tell
I'm not going anywhere. Just sinking.
but the warmth
and support
and comfort -
although false -
feel so very good.

temporary at best
a mess for certain

Yet here I am.
