Slow Poison

Red light bleeding through the blinds
You don’t touch me, but I bend
Your shadow knows me better
Than anyone I’ve let in

Every breath feels borrowed
Every thought is you
I don’t pray for mercy
I just wait for the truth

I hear you in the silence
Like a sin I never named
I know exactly what you are
Still I let you stay

My soul is calling under water
Drowning in your pull
All I crave is your poison
Slow and beautiful
That blue in your eyes keeps flashing
Got me locked, got me loose
On my knees in the quiet
I don’t fight it, I choose

Cold skin, static in the air
Every look feels ceremonial
You don’t promise anything
You just make it inevitable

I wear your want like armour
Let it cut me clean
If this is how I disappear
At least I felt something

Say my name like a warning
Say it like a sin
I don’t need forgiveness
I just need you in

My soul is calling under water
Drowning in your pull
All I crave is your poison
Slow and beautiful
That blue in your eyes keeps flashing
Got me locked, got me loose
On my knees in the quiet
I don’t fight it, I choose

(half-whispered, almost spoken)
Don’t save me
Don’t pretend
If you’re the end
Let it end

(beat drops to a hum, breath audible)

My soul still calling from the deep end
Every time you move
I don’t want heaven, I want the damage
I want the truth in you
That blue in your eyes owns the moment
I give in, I lose
On my knees in the quiet
If it’s poison… I choose

Say my name
Low and slow
I was never meant to let you go
