Away
Every sound
Every breath
Every flicker
Every flutter
Every tear to come
I could unravel for you
Not one step
Or ache
Or choice
Or fear
Or desire
I wouldn’t unravel for you
The shade of your eyes, the crease of your skin as you talk yourself out of what I am talking you into is not going to work, is not going to happen, you look, you are, you have become
But you choose your own boat
And I watch you offshore
Away
From it all
All
Away
