Tap Twice

gracious and severe and lying next to me when I don’t know if you’re sleeping but you oughta be I just wanted to protect you, with your shaking hands and no shoes I just thought that you might grow to understand I tap twice on your doorframe and you let me in I tap twice on your forehead and a heart appears it seems like you’re only high, when you’re holding your breath you’re only bright when you’re broken in half when we met a few years back, you didn’t warm to me I left oranges in your bedroom like an offering and I see you in the future, you look just the same but older and I wave to you but I don’t slow my pace I tap twice on your doorframe and you let me in I tap twice on your forehead and a heart appears It seems like you’re only high, when you’re holding your breath you’re only bright when you’re broken in half when I almost broke my wrists trying to bring you back and you thrashed around like goldfish in a garbage bag it seems like you’re only high when you’re holding your breath only bright when you’re broken in half
