Wading

You call with mixed signals
Like a broken lighthouse
I’m not sure whether to stay on the shore
Or to wade into the deep
I need a truthful answer
Like the sirens who tempted Odysseus
You need to call to me steadily
And bring me in hypnotically
I need to know if you love me
So I can wade into the deep
The lightning hits the ground
And the thunder is here now
The waters call to me restlessly
But I’m waiting on you
I need to know if you’ll save me
When I’m drowning
To death at sea
I need to know that you’ll save me
To wade into the deep

tears

Tears
are the pure clean blood of my heart
my stomach drops
my heart stops
and the blood comes rushing out my eyes.
