What You Do

Don’t have me in arms reach And keep your distance, I can’t hold my breath for much longer, No I’m not stronger Than the air in my lungs Or the muscles in my cheeks Don’t make promises you can’t keep. I want to trust you to hold me Without the fear of letting go I should let you know That I love you But my lips decisively forget My tongue lingers, You take my breath away, Sentences become murmurs. You steal my every intention of moving on, And making a new start. But I don’t mind, You can take all my organs- Just don’t leave out my heart.
