between the lines

floating through different dimensions

i was calm on the outside
but battles would be fought
my heart vs my head
within a mere thought

but then one day you held me
and i started to see
that being trapped in your arms
was the only place i could breathe

some days my heartstrings
would snap and would break
and id sit there and wonder
how much more i could take

but then i'd lock eyes with you
and i would be shown
that in this battle i fight
i'm not so alone

how do you keep me sane
i'd say

all i can reveal is that it works
and i'd prefer to keep it that way

you helped to teach me to
find beauty in the unknown
but now you're gone
so i fear it instead
because now i'm here
fighting my battles alone
and maybe if i had known how
i wouldn't feel so dead
