The Kiss of Mermaids

It’s not something you can see, just beneath the skin

Tensions starts to build, as your heavy heart starts to ache and bend

Waves governed by the moon, the water crashes down and thins

You are crumbling all at once, your mind jumps to absolutes and ends

I am not patience or a comfort to men, but for you

I will rise from the sea, and I will teach you how to begin

Lanky and long, but in my arms you are small

It’s not a fair fight, standing in between walls, destined to smother all life

Glowing like a lantern lit room, sweet grass and intoxicating fumes

China dolls we're never meant to fight wars

On the horizon, without you, meeting again always looms

It’s silence I can’t bear, I really don’t think I could want more

Your absence, a guard at the door

I am perpetually torn, sweet sufficiency

To be whole without having to break down the doors

I grasp you like a dagger, and in exchange you leave marks

On this chess board, each queen learned to bark

Through this galactic quest, I harbor you

I’d like to take you everywhere, if time was so kind

Rocks skid across the surace then sink

You and me, came from one thing

Split aparts, I am beginning to think
