Waves in Corridors

Sun kissed dress pressed into the wall. Ash piled on the book case, clothes scattered on the floor. Incense fragrance curls the upper corners of the room. 

Take your dreary little hands and try to write on every wall you can. You can admit that your still dreaming of a way to take it all back. In permanent waves we’ve revolved in this circle. Crushed into powder, taken in a pill, smoked through a glass, you’re always the same. Not for balance, you’re way too easy to confuse with something else. It’s not that simple to subdue this.

 I can’t swim straight. Lies are real to each other, my body paralyzed. I wanna make it last a little longer this time. Stay right here forever, never let it go, these warm waves that peel apart my shoulders. Lets that shiver go, everything hidden is buried beneath. 

I’ll take one in the morning, two in the afternoon, and watch this resentment wash away. Now I know I can’t sleep at all, stand upon a hiding spot, I’m at a loss. I’ll take 3 at night. 

As far as I can tell there’s just not enough to heal again before I plunge back into your dark. 

It’s becomes an unfair exchange. Taking a chance, my eyes alive like I've not seen before. Stand in the way, don’t let me go. 

This isn’t fair. There is this pain in me taking up every breath I breathe, so I’ll drift into waves and never let go. That shimmer will glow, I’ll never let it go. 

When you say to take it easy, it only makes me wanna push you more, breaking down your door. When you say come with me, I wanna make it last a little longer this time, just for myself. I wanna stay right here forever. Strings wrap around my fingers, water peeling apart my skin. 

It wasn’t worth it now no one has to know.
