as a kid
i was in love with the stars
and i still am
always drawn to the intangible
like everything evaporates
when i see it clear
/
don't hold my hand
i don't want you
to end up a distant,
dusting dream
/
we only come
to feel the void in our veins
after we let their opposite in
i know you know
/
don't look me in the eyes
i know what yours harbor
i'd rather have it
never be.
it hurts more to remember
to remember
to remember a heart that could have been.
/
let me spend the night with my faithful demons
let me know solace
in those voices
they won't walk away.
/
i know if they did
i'd miss them.
i know i'd feel that room
that room they left
that room you'll come to fill back up
and that room will start it
all over again.
