I am staring at mirrors just praying that looks could really kill.
They never do.
I am watching your breath form clouds before your lips
Without the cold.
There must be something freezing just beside your lungs.
The same heart that controlled my tongue
Is rushing blood to the finger that shines with the Sun.
Let's talk about belief and what it means to me
Like it even matters what I think, anyway.
The Summer and the sweat dare me to forgive everything.
I can see it in your eyes, hollowed at the sight
Of a nameless fog that brought you your respite.
Was it the warmth inside his touch or simply another crutch that let you breathe?
You are, and have always been, everything I fear, and everything I love.
I'll take each burdened star as a sign that we will stay apart.
Make no mistake, you once meant everything.
Although I have seen the worst of you, come closer.
There is nothing left to say,
Your hand already strayed.
When your yell faded to a whisper, did you hear his voice too?
And when you close your eyes, am I the one haunting you?
I swear I still see you, like fog fading from the window
So I breathe harder to bring you back.
