...

I spent so much time
thinking that you'd be the one
to fill my nights with the stars
that burn up and down your veins
with the sea that fuels your beating heart
with the care you showed me when everyone else
left.

But I never stopped to think
that caressing you
would scar my hands
and singe my heart

I wrapped my whole world around you
I made you a second home
and nested deep inside like you were my skin
and I had to learn this lesson the hard way
because nobody is going to save you
and nobody is going to care
even if you dedicate your very being
give them every bit of adenine that makes up your DNA
give them every bit of freedom they could want
because none of that matters
and in the end,
all you've got is you again.
