Entranced and mesmerized

Bare witness to a slow demise

I saw the sunset in your eyes

A bitter heart beats, and in the dark I keep

The pulse that's dear to me

Carnal desires forming familiar warmth

Fuel the embers that don't want to burn anymore

Selfishly dig in nails that grow roots

Anchoring a flower that's not meant to bloom again

Suffering in silence

Wilting in your vase

But I'll grip the thorns harder if I'll still see your face

The blood from my grip, chokes me like your spit to you, too much to swallow, but too loved to lose.

Stay

I'll reach in your chest be your heartbeat

your eye's every night in my sleep

Carnal desires forming familiar warmth

Fuel the embers that don't want to burn anymore

Selfishly dig in nails that grow roots

Anchoring a flower that's not meant to bloom again
