heart haunt

I still remember the look on your face The first time that I saw you You stood there and laughed with impossible grace Oh I had to know you The death of October loomed right round the corner Fantastically dressed like a fox My eyes grew quiet like cinnamon silently Watching you begin to haunt me like a ghost You pulled me in gently, my shipwreck your casualties You promised to protect me I told you I'd capsized, been trying to flip upright These waters still working against me The swells of surrender you laid down so tenderly And told me that you understood My breath grew quiet never seen so viably Holding on tight while you calm me like only you could I built us a house inside my over active heart Hung up those golden lights that mimic the stars But they opened up the ceiling now the roof is dripping rust And I can feel you leaving slipping into the dust I still remember the look on your face The last time that I saw you You stood there in blue with impossible haste A jet stream I couldn't catch you The silence of summer, bittersweet surrender Choking back you running hot My mind grew louder screaming to run after you When I tried to move I got stuck Now I haunt you like a ghost Always reaching for a home
