Children

I love a boy

Against my will

Against my better judgement

Like a child

This love is too big

This world is far too big

To try and exist at all

This love makes me small

It makes me a small little girl

Reminiscent of days when my hair used to curl

And I would talk to the sage and the wind

Reminiscent of days that lasted a thousand years

And I would twirl my dress in the wind

I can’t save his soul

You make our souls glow bright

Something we never asked for

We grew accustomed to the darkness

Until you took us up in flight

Until you made us twinkle like the stars in the night

This love makes us innocent and small

In this world we tried to leave behind

Is his lost soul what it took to save mine?

You knew his soul is tethered to mine?

Grab our small hands, clasped and intertwined

And cast out our fears past the sky

The train is coming and we want to go home

Its Not What You Say

The music hums past a loud drone
We're trapped inside
The sea outside keeps us alone
I've tried
Times like these before I've tried
To play the game between strangers' eyes
But none have nibbled at the bait
Until tonight

You have hooks of your own
Ones I'll tempt you to use
Ones that'll make me sick
Ones that I'll want to abuse
Perhaps you understand

If someone like me
Has looked at you
In that way
You froze your breath
And looked away
But even when you looked back
They set you on fire with wanton gaze

If enticing looks lie inside the imagined world
Of what you crave
Look back at me
It won't rain all night
In this desert sky
Let my lightning bolt light you up
Until you die

Electrified
