Candy

How could the ground tease me so

Threaten to swallow me whole

Then not follow through?

Reminds me of you

In that way

Holding me taut

I vibrate like a wire between two poles

Candy between your lips

Your words are so sweet

And though I've been hurt before

I trust you now

I choose to trust you more

I'm happy to wait for a beat

'Til I'm more steady on my feet

For my eyes to adjust

To the night sky and the changing of stars

I think I may have travelled far too far

Furrow between my brows

My thoughts are bittersweet

And though I've been hurt before

I trust me now

I choose to trust me more

But when the ground parts what will I do?

When the ground parts what will I do?

When the ground parts what will I do?

When the ground parts what will I do?

When the ground parts what will I do?
