Couldn't Stay

I was the scent of a coming storm The ashen ghost of a dying flame Now these legs are filled with sand I haven't left the ground for days I always thought I'd run out of poses Run out of lines to read Now that I've traced every line around your eyes I'm writing sonnets in my sleep And you were a warm light That beckoned me When you knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay And you held me anyway I never thought outside this room I could feel so incomplete So bare your soul, your skin, your fangs I need to feel you next to me And feel your warm touch The hands that beckoned me When you knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay And you held me anyway Slowly swimming upward 'til I was Taken by your lure The sweetness of the hook in my mouth The only thing I trust for sure When you knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay You knew I couldn't stay And you held me anyway
