notes to you

9 // save me and i'll save you

come a little closer,
just three little steps is all it takes.
let your calloused tips touch my soul
you'll find it dripping through my pores
my heartbeat is making yours echo
am i the only one who hears it?
i'm not pure, i'm not good,
don't expect me to have a light inside.
i find my black seeking your dark,
a pull stronger than the sun's on earth.
when your touch moves up my arm,
little bumps will rise up my skin,
it'll get too cold for us to bear
so do us both a favour
and melt into me.
i can't bear you standing close
but being so far,
so give in to my pull,
come fall into me.
i don't have a lot to give,
but i can surrender the life pumping within me,
it's been yours since my name left your lips,
so come take what was never mine.
when the dark falls,
you can take my hand in yours.
the way you take me is the way i'll go,
no questions asked, no complaints told.
the red flowing through your veins,
risen from the abyss of nothingness
lying under the fiery pits,
i want to claim it the way you claimed mine,
so when your unsure brown eyes look into my blue ones,
i'll come as the medicine to heal your cracked heart,
i'll hold you till you're put back together,
piece by piece, second by second,
because home is your arms wrapped around my body,
clinging on desperately,
begging me to stay, begging me to not let go,
and when my home's broken,
i can't leave it stranded,
because the flowers outside are too pretty to be left behind.
the walls you put up, the ones you hide behind,
i built one around us,
to keep us safe, to keep you safe.
so take me to be your haven,
let's walk this rope together.
