I’ve seen the best
And the worst you can be
And all while you’re getting
The better of me
You’re fragile but wicked
And fleeting as breath
And you move up behind me
And scare me to death
You’re fragile but wicked
And fleeting as breath
But when you move close to me
You scare me to death
At war between all good intentions
And greed
My love is the kind
Where want becomes need
Where lust takes the toll
Of a quick stolen breath
You stir within me
And scare me to death
Where lust takes the toll
Of a quick stolen breath
You stir within me
And scare me to death
A dose now of either heart or of mind
Can be lethal, it seems, if they’re not combined
They show but contempt when consideredas two
And pretend that each is the other to you…
Now, you spit in your hands
And haul on the rope
And fill up my cup
With the worst kind of hope
You lift me with words
I haven’t found yet
I fall like your shadow
And you scare me to death
I fall like a shadow
You’ve stolen my breath
You sleep here beside me
And scare me to death
You sleep here beside me
And you scare me to death
