Dying Love

My lips drip of the words I want to express Follow my hands I’ll trace a map for us On your skin We will meet in the middle Hands in hand Colors overflowing Our cups The wands spinning out of control Moving out of their own accords Meet me down at the lobby We can change the world, I said We had set each other free The twilight nights at the beach Playing those Coldplay and Chainsmokers songs You liked How we danced on that stage The spotlight was on us Sneaking smiles across behind the curtains Our eyes closed In the dark of the velvet The never ending pills and The overflowing vodka The sleepless nights That Polaroid shot of me You took at the beach The shades As dark as it was bright Vivid and wild Only as wild as young as we are Unforgettable, It was good while it lasted Until I had to let it go The reds and blues were Flaming in my eyes Streaming down my face Staining me In a dye of our Dying love In its breathing wake
