Subtlety
I'll leave you a kiss from these bright red lips
Soft and subtle, like these words that don't exist
If matter exists because it has somewhere to go then my words mean nothing when they have no home
Breathe in, breathe out
Shriveled petals slowly dying from the poison I exhale as you absorb them, though I'm trying to convert them to oxygen, no doubt
Pigment fading as it sinks in
Water cascading and it washes away
Spiraling down the drain in a brand new day
Caught up in the madness of my thoughts and dreams
Catching up to my intentions, clogging the sink so it doesn't slip away through the seams
Fingers on your skin
Tracing lines with definition
Flowing through your melody
in lyrics I never mentioned
Looking for a space where you can write me in
When I drop my expectations
as I let myself hope again
Soft and soothing as it lingers
Squeezing love into my heart
Gotta squash it down,
I just don't know where to start
My imagination runs wild
as I think of things I want
Desire flowing through me,
living only in this moment
Sunny skies turn dark
as the moon rises in the sky
Got you under my skin like shadows
There's no need to wonder why
As I brush my lips against yours,
the pigment sinking in
Letting everything I know go
Lost in the moment once again
