These dirty paths, they led to you. You cleaned me up and licked my wounds. Let me drink from your cup, let me soak in your fountains. My roots sucking at your water. Wrapping your vines around me. Spread your wings and take me out of here, anywhere, anywhere. I needed time, you gave me your watch. No judgements, just empathy. Do you remember that night? You saved my life I was ready to die. You can start counting the days baby, to when the warmth returns to my bed. And the numbing contentment rushes through. Even if not meant to be. Let’s just distract ourselves a little bit longer? Freeze this moment here and now forever? Not just your words, but your voice and hopeful intent Whisper in my ear "I could float here forever"
