You see me for so much more Than I could ever see within myself Spent so much time in bed Reaching for a turned back That it became the norm The coldest shoulders Had made my skin go numb Until I felt your warmth I was burned at the touch But from that pain comes thaw A part of me is waking up You found me just as I was shutting down My love was buried in the frozen ground Shake the dirt and the ice I felt so cast aside A discarded device But it wasn't til I saw your eyes Looking into mine That I broke down That I realized How much I had hurt Covered in the dirt Hardened in the cold My heart was put on hold So this is what it means To finally be seen To be brought to my knees But never have to plead My lips utter the phrase “It's just serendipity” But this was no mistake We’re right where we should be I’m sorry, it’s just not what I’m used to After all those years trying To be of some use to Someone who never needed me Someone who never needed what I was So I learned to live with it Until your fingers found my skin Burning me like medicine Showing me what I’ve been missing No apprehension We just fell into it

Well Being 04:11
Feel it creep under my skin Fingers start to twitch The lonely pang of restlessness When there’s no one else around Do I even make a sound? Or am I just an echo Fading from their consciousness? Without the amniotic comfort Of being wrapped in someone else My mind is left to wander Lowered further down the well When meditation Becomes suffocation Where to go? Throw myself into you And I’m ashamed to admit it But it’s how I’ve come to be My past keeps biting at my feet I’ve refrained to ever bare it It’s not fair of me To burden my own company Oh Christ, it's so goddamn pathetic How I only know myself In the context of someone else So tell everyone to exit View me in a vacuum Self-pity on a feedback loop When meditation Becomes suffocation Where to go? Throw myself further down the well Where nobody can hear me yell No soul to console Just myself Until the echo begins to swell And rings pell mell No, I can’t bear to look Into what I fear most A face emerging Churning doubt Who will pull me out?
