My fingers trace the scars on your skin,

Tell me where you have been and what you have seen,

I can taste the blood on your tongue,

But you shut down when I urge you to tell me why.

Let me drown in your love,

Freeing myself from this reality,

Escaping life as it passes before me,

Nothing can stop the sea from raging.

And she wants me to love her,

But I do not know how yet.

He wants me to find him,

But I am lost already in my head.

Blood stained petals fall onto the dust ridden floor from twenty years before,

Howling in the night,

It's the only way I can sleep these days.

No one ever believed we could escape into the wilderness,

Running on the edge of the day,

Knives stuck in our backs but we still tread along the old forgotten paths.

Never understood why she thought she needed me.

Telling stories of places meant for believing,

Lost in the sea,

And she is raging,

Trying to swallow me whole so I may never leave again,

Ocean tide covered my eyes,

But he found me in the dark blue.

And I began to rise.
