You said you needed to disappear for a while
and my heart flew back to the time
i left myself drown
and waited to see how much could my lungs
breathe without oxygen.
I wanted to catch you,
to pull you back and tell you that
as long as I am here,
nothing bad will ever happen to you.
But what if it is my love that shook your core
what if my hug was too tight
and my kiss too strong
that your body over flooded with emotion
that your soul has no manual for?
And I could try and lend you mine,
but the directions just won’t do.
So I tied my hands and I silenced my mouth,
I shut my phone in a box
and watched the stars come up.
I begged them to whisper my love to you,
I promised them my heart in return,
for it has no use without you here.
