Heart Strings

falling ;

a shudder that rose from the base of your spine,
oh dear darling come here, be mine
infuse me with your sweetness because i'm starving;
i feel like i'm dying,
but with you in my arms i know
i'll be fine

i'm clutching the forbidden fruit in my hand so tight
oh dear darling come here, take a bite
i know it's a sin, but i don't want to think; i couldn't if i tried,
it feels too right
whenever you touch me, my heart leaps high
and takes flight

here is a line i shouldn't dare cross, you said
oh dear darling come here, fuck that
you've bitten down on the edges of my soul and tasted the rustic
that i've bled,
so let me love you hard enough to bruise your lips
and stain them red

i swear to god i'll burn up in your embrace
oh dear darling I'm scared, my heart says:
'you're falling through dimensions, through time, through space'
and you slowly trace,
the depth of me with your eyes that pry open my core
as i touch your face

i'm falling and falling and i don't think i'll ever stop
i don't mind it really, not at all
i'm falling in love with you
over and over
and i don't think there's anything better

except catching you when you fall, just as hard
