Candy asks me to stay down
And I know you can guess why
to make her moan and explode
To make her see fireworks in the sky

She keeps me up
With her fantastical daydreams
Feeding me her nectar so I stay alive
If you read between these lines, it’s a lot more than it seems

Her tongue wrapping my own
Now we were locked in godly embrace
What’s the opposite of alone?
Her eyes rolled to the back of her face

Okay, enough talk of deeper things
She had the universe in her mind
Maybe we were just at the right place at the right time
But she was all I would hope to find

Candy stares me down, as we spoke about sustainability and the future
She puts my hand on her breast to feel her heart beat
What do you think? she asks
I put her hand on my chest, this is yours to keep

It will soon be alright, I know you know
I shiver when she kisses the tip, I cry when she blows
Boy, the way you use your tongue, and the way you write
She said I know you’ll fuck me right,
but like you did with that Candy girl,
love me tonight.

I think it’s the way the divine leaks from your eyes
That moulds my heart into becoming your wings
I didn’t trade the moth for a butterfly
So for you, I became just like all the other things

I tattooed words to my heart
Those weren’t enough
You say fall back into place
And tattoo those words on your face

I’m picking up the pieces that I can find
Of my heart that the glue didn’t bind
It’s a lot bigger than it used to be
I appreciate the love you gifted me

The beginning was unexpected
But the end was premeditated
We danced around the edge of the sword
It’s a death I wasn’t sure we would afford

You’re with them now, and I hope you’re glad
We’re on a quest to find our own
That’s the remedy for a love you said was driving you mad
I wrote to survive being alone

Through it all I smile and try to
assess who is and is not my friend
Even though just for a while, I pray for you too
I pray true love finds you in the end
