Death Grip

Look unto these eyes before you Dissect the emotions They revolve around love A love forbidden unto you Against this law among us Illegal Who knows what will become of us? You smile I melt You kiss My being tingles You laugh I can’t help but feel the admiration in you I feel like dying You’re never how you seem I feel I could never be happier Then I’m disappointed again What happens each time? What goes wrong? Is it love? Is it just a phase? We’ll see Disgust Adornment Fore shame Enlightenment It doesn’t make sense The way I feel with you Study this soul of mine It’s at ease because of you Because you’re calming my heart With your eyes I had a death grip on my veins Until you shaded my existence Changed my outlook into love I can’t do this It’s wrong No I love you I care about you I want you I need you I want to kiss you Touch you Everything in me I want to let you feel I love this feeling I have When I’m with you You’ve corrupted my mind From being in pain From seeing eye to eye with suicide I got thrown so close to the pit But you helped to pull me away Just in time I returned the favor The night you said you wanted to I wouldn’t let you let go That way Alone I told you to go I dared you to In my mind Because I would have surely followed So I could look into those eyes again But you left suddenly Left me wondering What to do You loosened the grip I held Upon my veins You helped me see it through Of what to do I thought I’d take this time to thank you for always being there And putting up with my confusion I love you for it I always will I hope you thank me too Because I have tried to help you as much as I could But what could I do? Being so far from you, emotionally Whatever the circumstances You know I’ll be here Ready to show you yourself through my eyes I know you’ll see it in mine Because I feel you inside of me Loosening and loosening still On this grip I hold upon my veins Written January 15th, 2002 © on Jan 15 2002 11:10 AM PST    18 • 0 • 1
