Ode to You

You've got the art,
I've got those sick lungs that breathe your kind of air.
You've got that aura,
I've got those feet that run towards you without care.
I've got the boyhood you needed to witness,
I've got my scars…. and my burns.
And I needed the saving you could offer,
Since I was past the point of no return.

And I told you;
Stay where you are darling
Let me be the one who comes runnin' 
Just make sure you'll catch me,
And bury me inside you deep within
I'll be your victim and I'll be your prey,
I'll be the lamb to your knife.
I don't mind giving in to you,
I will love you for the rest of my life.

But after I fell… Something changed,
You started dreaming and drifting away.
I gave my all to make you stay,
But I was late and you had already sailed.
I made up a million ways to love you,
Found a million ones to keep you mine.
Yet you chose to please your body
With sick colors…and an unfamiliar design...

And you told me;
Your flames burn too hot
Your waves hit too hard that I can't stand.
I didn't choose to swim against you,
But your tide has swallowed up my land.
Your words smother me,
Your colors have rendered me blind
Now I can't see myself (with you)
And I have to leave you behind…
