My heart's beating against yours
I'm suffocating.
You look straight into my eyes
and my fingers are melting
Our skins' connecting
my breathing hitches
and slowly you break the promise
we've been pretending
to listen.
Don't stop.
I need your nails carved on my back
I'll use your scars as my tattoos
the music's banging on my ears
your lips are leaving memories that
could never be forgotten
Eyes closed, only sensations flow.
