Desolate

By Sarah K

Before, I was not exposed
I was sheltered by my walls, my lack of care, the weight of me
My youth, oh my youth
I was better than the one who wanted me
He didn't deserve
Didn't deserve my devotion
Didn't deserve my mouth on his
Was not worthy of my love
I knew it, I knew it
He shouldn't feel my caresses,
I shouldn't hold him like I mean it
But he was there
And you...
And you...
Failing, falling, fading
I can't keep my head up
The walls are gone
Where is my comfort
I care, I care, I want to be out from under
The weight of you, you smother me
Your youth
Your youth outweighs me
You are better
I do not deserve
Don't give me your devotion
Your tongue twisted with mine, the sensation
The endless afternoons of cuddling, warming, swooning, soothing
Take it back, your love
I can't take it, I do not deserve
The music
Failing, falling, fading
I can't keep my head up
You're crushing me, the weight of you
Failing, falling, fading
You can kill me
You can leave me desolate
Your youth, oh your youth
Your melody
I can't take it
Failing, falling, fading
You...
You...
You are here
