if i ever lost you
i am afraid i would never sing again
those strings and keys would never sound the same without you existing in them
my voice could never produce a word other than your name
a desperate cry is all i can chase
how pessimistic of me
to fear the end when we have just reached the beginning
i have learned to prepare for the treachery that comes with being unwanted
you want me
but fearfully
the wanting is only for a season
until you grow weary
i have learned to count my steps before i fall
it only took a few
i claimed you far too quickly
but how could i resist the wonder of your soul
that i sink into like sand?
i could hold you here as you play me like a violin
i could fall into you headfirst
i could stitch you on my skin
could we ever be the same?
could you love me?
if i told you the moment you existed to me, there was never another in this universe?
