The connection unbreakable,
Wanting the break,
Needing the bond,
Longing for the attention,
Craving to be solitary,
Colours mixing in my mind,
Making the deepest shade of nothing,
Though it’s almost scarlet,
No not quite,
Not quite.

Choking on the air we breathe,
Living on your dreams,
The wind carrying my thoughts,
Feelings being blown away,
Like the leaves on the summer grass,
Dancing by us,
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
No not quite,
Not quite.

Your words like honey,
Tempting,
Taking them in,
Promises so brittle,
Leave the problems be,
Let them hide themselves away,
This mess will clear eventually,
Does it let in some light?
No not quite,
Not quite.

Yet taking you away from me,
Is like taking the stars,
From a summer night,
Leaving the moon lonesome,
For a stolen kiss in the dark,
She wants to forget the world,
But something keeps her here,
Maybe she isn’t strong enough,
No not quite.


Not quite.
