i can hear your breath here
acrossthe room and you assume
i love you i assume
you love me too. we are the same,
play with fire, make me stay, lay
me down in your head where your forbidden thoughts are.
let me live between your temples let me be for you a temple
tempt me lightly to the edge and let me fall and take a pledge
to love me now
we'll see tomorrow
what comes then.
give me a bracelet and call it anything and i'll
cherish it like it's gold.
you said you dream of me said you'd stay
if you could but your last bus line leaves at midnight
and
i don't have the guts to ask you
to stay the night.
you kiss rough like corals salt and colours scratched my tongue on that old callous
on your soul. don't let me fall
past you fall for him make me stay and stay me here
love me like you have no fear
of rejection. you're an injection of some type of trash that makes colours music
you're amusing even when you're not around.
let me drown
in your ego love me either
or do not let go. i know
you and i are tiers fires foreign forests different types of tourists more is
what i want of you and you of me.
so just sleep without me now and we will see
who'll drown
in whom
tomorrow noon
or just in five
tonight.
