Leigh

To love and to be loved by the one you keep near To lay in the forever, forever deep in their soul Here's a portrait of a life dug in the soil Her skin, made of satin It shines, gifting me light I trace into her and find a soul We grace through it and lose our sight Birthday celebrations at your apartment My mouth, bleeding Leaking out live for you on the ground All I've lived for covers the sink Stars dissolve into your drink And you pour out to the stars And if you can't find the words And the melody is too sad to sing You know that you can lay right here I'd give you the words But you don't care for singing do you? I know there's nothing keeping you But won't you stay too long? I'll sting hang to your fingers So some joy lingers Bear your heart like a necklace Where we can see it And maybe the string won't fail this time Peace turned to you, and hoped to have died Its eyes distraught by the pain in your heart
