You swear your heart unto my reluctant arms
With all your love that belongs not to me
And the biting warmth of your eyes.

Yet, I draw you in;
Closer than pain,
As you trace tulip stars along my hair,
And I breathe in amnesia burrowed in your neck.

We kiss the sky in a desperate attempt at feigning love
Sharper than rain,
In this moment of beginning
I've forgotten what it feels like to be held by you

Here,
I murder the lover of romantics within me
With soft words and softer still humming;
Gentle hands that choke and bleed
Muted breaths that gasp and shatter

Instead, lies a wanting that begins at the flutter of your eyes and ends at the sight of your lips
Or maybe at the shape of your voice
Moulding onto mine

So, my Heart
For damned reasons,
Let's tumble onto this corrupt happiness
Drunk on this sense of longing
On this tenet of belonging

Drunk on hushed words, a fortune hidden under the promise of love.
