A molasses summer

You Follow me home because I’m scared of strangers
I know what’s looming behind me
I know you carry a knife in your pocket
But it’s ok
only mysteries scare me

You Drown me in a bath
Than lay me out in the sun to dry
In the drip dried summer that sank
Like a glass ball in a jar of molasses

You Swim in a sea of my blood 
Cause It’s the same as loving me
Don’t think
Just take it

I wade by the shore 
and don’t go where I can’t touch
You knock my heart on granite
Its an egg you will to crack
