Leaning Into The Abyss

Throwing boundaries to the wind
You know I’ve sinned
Letting you in that way
Because you would just walk away
When things would get hard
I can feel it in you, the glass shard
And I know I should have pity
But I would rather just run to the city
And build a new life there
You’ve got a wife and I don’t care
Because you are less to me now than you were before
And it is only the memory I adore
As I run my hands through your hair
I really think you were there
And I can’t understand
Why even half the man
You are would leave
You say it’s just something I believe
You proclaimate that it was I
Who left you to die
In the infertile and arid
It’s like the apple soured
In our mouths
And I know I have my doubts
But your eyes are so sincere
And I just want you to come near
And this is no ambivalence, it’s paradox
I heard you outside and I undid the locks
You know, the chain that’s on my door
But it doesn’t rain for you, mo stór
And I can hear you knock
I walk halfway across the room and I stop
Is Jeremy with ya? I wonder silent prose
And of all of the less travelled roads
Did you have to walk down mine
I don’t love things that sparkle and shine
I am into rocks
To reflect the diamond I am not
