a few ethereal words.

sixty

If I had showed you every piece of me 

If I had let everything slip from my clenched grasp

Would you have still taken me 

Every song remembering every memory 

Steeped in the night we first kissed 

You called me yours 

I felt your heartbeat 

But you'd only seen a shard of me 

Every broken mirror 

Red light, tainted by my blood 

Between my teeth catch the words you want to hear 

I don't believe in my smiles 

The happy days blend together 

Lost between days 

You were there 

But after you saw it all 

I watched you run 

Even in the dark, even in the night

Take me with you 

Catch me 

Take it all 

We were there 

Now your ghost haunts me 

Dreams plagued with you 

I wake 

And you're gone
