Perpetual emotions.

Unknown lover.

Unknown lover,

Know this now before it begins.

That I can let your fingers fall between mine

And hold you together when you break apart.

I can pull down the stars for you,

 if you wish

And remind you of the days that were better, clearer,

Less full of confusion and numb intoxication.

I’ll sweep the pain off the kitchen floor the night after it fell

From your eyes: splashes of pain collected in a dustpan.

We can fall from great heights and be caught

Last moment, last chance, by one another-

If you wish-

I can swear away a lifetime of love in one moment

And kiss those lips until you believe me

But never mean it,

Not ever.
