the ocean's daughter

purple mist phone calls

my body is empty without yours

my heart stopped beating

my lungs gave out and yours give in

you run away crying

my bones break and fuse back wrong

the tears i cry grew weeds

i beg you to stay

i beg you to help me

my brain is on fire

my chest caves in

my legs fold and knees bend

my heart stopped beating

you run to me crying

stay stay stay

i say it like its oxygen

please 

no 

don't leave me

my body is empty without yours

your heart stops beating

your lungs gave out and mine give in

i run to you crying

you tell me

"this is for you "

"i need you to be you "

"i need you to live and to be okay "

therefore i need you to be on your own

"live, lover; i love you"

and in the morning

i thank you

for saving me

by leaving me

and still being mine in the morning
