It's easy to be stoic
when the words barely graze your mind
it's easy to forget
the spells of a certain kind
But when words become skin and fingers
and lips
your nails in my veins
holding on to me like this

When kisses are stitches
promises like the sand
you filled me with gold
and sewed me up by hand

&there's just something about this barren land
and you ease my mind
my thoughts of you
when you hold my soul
what am I to do

when you're not for me
& I'm not for you
