Tell me a secret
I’ll run circles around your head and
Turn your lips to melting ice
A building force of water
Clinging to your teeth
Until heavy, it falls
Tell me everything
Will it feel like a revival? A second chance?
A drink to quench a thirst you thought
Might kill you?
Or will it shame you?
A leak in a weak roof above your head
It was an accident, obviously
Didn’t mean to tell me anything
Didn’t mean to tell me this:
The way she burns your insides and leaves
You golden brown burnt, pure
And she comes back to rebuild
And she comes back to burn it down
Again and again and again
So for now she’s gone and
Your cheeks glow red when you tell me
Quietly, it’s so hard, you tell me,
Harsher now, you’ll never love again
You tell me
Head bowed, eyes down,
She is your hell
And your own redemption
All at once
