To be alone

In time and space

Can make the world

A lonely place

So when you find

Another soul

Do your best

To keep them close

You don't have to move

All the mountains at once

It's okay to take breaks

My love

Life's not a sprint

But rather a dance

Sometimes you take

And others you give

Learning to balance

Your needs from your wants

Takes more than just patience,

Resilience and trust

That you're going

The way towards your luck

You'll get there in time

Believe this you must

If love is a dance

I've got two left feet

Don't know the rhythm

And can't find the beat

If love is a game

I've been benched from the start

Despite wanting to play

I can never take part

If love is a battlefield

I've taken far too many wounds

Everyone's left me

With another excuse

And if love's worth losing

Why am I so fucking scared of letting go

See I don't think love

Is quite so poetic, you know

If love were a fire

It'd be an unstoppable blaze

A fine wine

That knows how to age

If love is a lemon

Both bitter and sweet

Does that mean love

Is your heart skipping beats?

And love is a drug

That gets you hooked the first time

Nothing ever tastes good enough

Convincing yourself that "it's fine"

A whirlwind full of quicksand

That you're desperately trying to keep and

You're gripping, and ripping, praying for this

While it's casually slipping through your hands

Is that love?

Is that what we wanted?

It seems that this love

Shouldn't be quite so hard then

Suffocating

Hard to breathe

Desperately trying

To catch my breath

I've swallowed

Oceans, my dear

Cried up rivers

That flooded with tears

Tsumanis and

Quicksand

Sinking in water

And land

Scrambling

To grapple at

Crumbling

Foundations

How far does

One fall

From their

Lowest point?

I showed you those roads,

The rivers and streams

I told you my stories

And shared all my dreams

I showed you the trees

That were planted for me

The mountains, the sky

And the places I've been

I showed you my heart

And you walked on my earth

Those places were sacred

Full of bounty and worth

Now you walk alone

Down the spines of my soul

This isn't your home

But you've taken it whole

Now the rivers run dry

And the mountains they weep

The sky's full of sadness

While the trees are asleep

You've stolen the magic

You've taken the sun

You're full of destruction

Look at all that you've done

Those rivers were mine

The mountains and streams

While stripping it all

You've forgotten it seems

Locked in a black void

Screaming with no sound

I wish I could tell you

I wish I could tell you

I wish I could tell you

But I'm no longer in control

The mechanic's out for lunch right now

And I'm left trapped in hell

You would think

That my eyes

Would be desert dry

With all of the

Oceans

That they cry
