It's okay in the day I'm staying busy

So just lately

When I catch myself I do a 180

Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking

That silent sense of content

Just disappears soon as the sun sets

Pour myself over him

Moon spilling in

This ache in my chest

My blood running cold

I stand before him

It's all I can do to assure him

When he comes to me

I drip for him tonight

Drowning in me we bathe under blue light

He swims in my eyes by the bed

Pour myself over him

Moon spilling in
