riptide

we are supposed to be helping one another survive in this fucked up world. there are forests full of wolves with claws that swipe and bright teeth that snarl. it is up to us to hold onto one another, only we can hold up the shield to protect our love. but this fucking life..i wish we could build our own private world where we would be happy and forget about the seaside town that keeps trying to wash us away.

confusion

you leave me with no ground under my feet
broken souls, trampled hearts, buried history
oncoming disaster from our very first kiss
i've been trying to love you, trying to be there
i simply wish you could open up your heart to me
give me your hidden love so that i may repair it
you are flipping on me like a faulty light switch
on
off
on
off
i'm spending too much time in the dark
desperate to feel your warmth again
maybe i met a different version of you before
and now maybe i've fallen into a pit of snakes
