ECHO

I follow you down the dark, dank stairway,

Not taking a glance back the way we came.

The footsteps I take are whispers;

No one can hear them but me.

 

But you still listen to my heartbeat

So you can sync it up with yours,

I feel a bonfire erupt in my gut;

A pulsing choler in my ears.

 

Though, I've learned when to shut up,

Throw away the key into the abyss,

Climb back up the stairs, out of these chains;

But we both know it'll never happen that way.

    It's strewn on the floor

    again, because I was too lazy

    to throw it in the hamper

    and instead it's on the carpet floor.

     

    And it's there next time

    I'm crying on the floor;

    We run back to your house,

    The lights are still on,

    And they cover your freckled face,

    Like it's the sun.

     

    The grass brushes our feet,

    And the wind catches in your hair,

    We sit out on the sand,

    The fog covers the sky,

    And blankets the world,

    Like a shield. 

     

    The waves nip at our feet,

    The water's cold

    But I'm warm because you hold my hand,
