Stop

With the world around you still

Breathe into me

Hold

Your fingers pressed against

your heartbeat

And everything that's here is rising in tone and saturation

It's an aching, it's a violence

It's a longing to erase the separation

Turn around and shout my name, I need to hear it

Come and pour out of my eyes like a flood

Pull me back to a time when I existed

Drown me in those memories

I want to feel it all

I want to feel it all

Stop

With the world around you still

Breathe into me

Hold

Your fingers pressed against

your heartbeat

And everything that's here is rising in tone and saturation

It's an aching, it's a violence

It's a longing to erase the separation

Looking up at me with hearts around your eyes

Stretching arms to beckon me back to that bed

This is more than just a memory

It's the quiet place where everything that's warm and real inside of me still lives

Break your crown and throw it tumbling to the earth

Burn the gates of heaven down if it's real

Soak me in my mother's blood

Show me that your arms can hold me

Dive into the dying light and find me here
