What if we stayed where happiness existed The piece of us that for so long has been missing No longer trapped in reminiscing But now present here living I wonder if we stopped giving permission To the worst of ourselves Would we have the recognition of love again Maybe not even love but like The excuse to crawl into your skin Because your scent has made me feral Like a wild dog in heat or hunger My eyes squint to focus on the plunder Of your treasure My ears close to hear your whispers of pleasure thunder Loud quiet soft No longer the rollercoaster of wild emotions The back and forth of disgust and pain If we could just remain Here Don't let me leave Please Don't let me leave Please I wish I could believe them Those who speak as if the future was spoken to them Those who whisper opinion as concrete Those who encourage the river to roll on I wish I could believe them Those who say it gets better with time Those who don't know time as intimate as I Those who don't count the second hand ticks on a clock I wish I could believe them But if I did I would lose whats left of you I would have to let you go And I don't want to
