THE LUST

It's closing before I approach.
The threshold between me and you.
I can't come inside.
I know I won't breathe in there
I'm afraid
You feel the walls around us
But you press the right buttons
Right down to the ground floor

How can you do that?
And be smiling all at once
I'm shivering in my knock off
shoes I brought. To wear
Just for you.
You know that's true.
You lure me to take your hand
I can't deny you.
You see that I'm a rubber band.

Will it be too late
Come with me, your eyes are begging
But it's dark in there.
What happened to you?
What secrets are brewing
Behind those kind eyes of yours?

Where did you go?
What demons did you face?
inside of you?
Show me how to do that too.
And by the features you muster
You know I have to embrace you
Your poker face gives way to truth
Only for me...

And I want to.
I need to cross over.
I wish this threshold was between the cold and the shelter.
I wish so much you took me
To places I wouldn't cower.

The reality is,
You are wiser
You are better.
And your waiting for me.
Please wait for me...
You won't wait forever.
