sometimes my love for you is quiet

vibrating in a cage beneath my ribs

it follows you

a lost puppy looking for a home



i want to curl up inside your heart

and live my days wrapped up

in the restlessness of your soul



i want the world to understand

that love can be perfectly

complicated, standing alone

at the top of a mountain

not worrying about the stars,

they are already dead



we are not the example

we are the experience



and i am no good on my own

i somehow managed to get here

stumbling over my own feet

too busy searching the crowds

for your face



the lights came on when you found me

digging holes in the desert of my heart

i was looking for where i had left you



you weren’t the same anymore,

no, i think you were better

you rose from your own ashes

to come back for me



take me with you

wherever you go

my silent love can keep you safe

my fierce loyalty will protect you

from the fire
