Grace

After the crash I held my breath Because I was afraid of what I'd say to you I feel restless as our moments pass Knowing these graces were never meant I'll tell you I'm lost alone As if these words were more than just oxygen You'll forget something said A dissonance when we lay in bed Blank faces in pretended love I don't want this to die, just to put my mind to sleep I don't want this to die, but the unrest is killing me Lost, in a tiger's den You're my lioness Moonlit, I saw you undress We are made from instances More than what we can understand Am I apart or am I together? Traces lines in your forever And it's the tourniquet on your veins It's the electric in my brain It's the low hum I wandered in It's the white-capped waves that drew me in close Turned to teeth to swallow the ship whole
