Mouths meet in a whirl of words unspoken
Lights fade and the image is changed
Amidst the glass that’s broken
What was your promise?
What made it true?
It seems that where I end
The beginning is you
Knees buckle still wet and tongue tied
Hands merge and stop and start and pull apart
I’m tried and tested and tested and tried
Slammed down to rise again
To know the difference
Between lover and friend
Where we meet to repeat the last
Under fire and overhead
Beware what lives beneath your bed
Though I know it can’t be wrong
I’ll take it and face it and never replace it
The bloody battle rages on
It began so long ago
I’ll stay at your pace and lie at your feet
And let you take it slow
I’ll chew at your ear and try not to fear
All the stones that you throw
I’ll move through the rain
And spin with the wind
Taking it in and accepting the pain
I just need to know
Know you forever
Bathe in guilty pleasure
And take the darkness away
When the stars start to shine
And you want to be mine
And the need shifts from me to you
It rises and falls
Breathing
Love
Necessary
True
