With each step further
The cold creeps up my spine
Behind the bushy clouds
The sun hides behind.
I want to be apart of you
If you’ll let me inside
I want us to be one
Rolling, soundless tide.
I wade further into you
The freeze gripping my chest
With the cold pain
I hold my breath.
Suddenly there is warmth
And I know you have let me in
My muscles relax
I feel my body sinking… sinking.
It’s a new day
You’re still you
And you’re still a mystery to me
I can’t read into you.
It’s a new day
It’s the same me
But I’m feeling a bit differently
I’m wondering, I’m doubting
How you feel about me…
It’s the twinkle in your eyes
The way your heart races against mine
The fire burning inside of you…
You’re the sunshine in a black sky
The air I need to breathe or I die
You’re the water I drink
You’re everything I need…
So what am I to you?
It’s still the same kiss
Still the same hug
The electricity is not gone
And I ravish in your warmth.
It’s still the same love
And it’s growing
But I don’t know if you feel what I’m feeling
But it’s so amazing…
Then I, I wonder, what am I to you?
It’s the twinkle in your eyes
The way your heart races against mine
The fire burning inside of you…
You’re the sunshine in a black sky
The air I need to breathe or I die
You’re the water I drink
You’re everything I need…
So what am I to you?
Am I the color blue in your sky
The medicine you take?
Do I make you feel alive
Or am I just another mistake?
It’s the way you smile at me
The sound of you breath when you’re falling asleep
It’s the way you shine…
You’re a midnight sunrise
The unpredictable tide
You’re the rain pouring down on me
You’re everything I need.
So what am I to you?
What am I to you?
What am I to you?
What am I to you?
It’s the twinkle in you eyes
You’re the sun in a black sky
It’s the fire burning inside of you…
You’re the air I breathe or I die
The way you’re heart races against mine
You’re the water I drink
You’re everything to me.
When you kiss my lips
When you touch my skin
There is nothing like the rush of your current
When your hand’s in mine
And our hearts are ignited
I can do anything
Don’t you feel it too?
The energy that flows through
You’re my river
In a valley of dry land
You’re my river
Won’t you let me in?
When I see your face
When you say my name
I can’t help it, I can’t breathe!
Cause when you’re around
I lose control
And suddenly I can’t speak
Don’t you feel it too?
The energy that flows through
You’re my river
In a valley of dry land
You’re my river
Won’t you let me
Inside of your life
Cause you’re the sunlight
Shining in the night sky.
I don’t want to go back
To where I was before I met you.
Don’t you feel it too?
The energy that flows through me and you
You’re my river
In a valley of dry land
You’re my river
Won’t you let me in?
Won’t you let me in?
Let me in…
When I see your eyes
It begins again…
The chemistry
Boils in my veins
Whenever you get too close
Your lips call my name
Your amber eyes pull me in
And when your skin touches mine
The world shifts beneath my feet
I can’t think
I’m in too deep
All I’ve got is this need
To be close to you
All I feel is the heat
Of you breath
The chemistry between us
Is fogging up my head.
There’s a pain in my chest
That stabs with every breath
There’s a crack in my ribs
Puncturing my heart
As I bleed the hurt away
I watch it swirl down the drain
Down the Drain by CrisRaq
Raining on the inside
Sunshine on the out
Gotta put a smile on
To hide the clouds
No I won’t let you see me cry
No you can’t have my heart this time.
There’s a tornado in my rib cage
Lava fills my gut
Even though it hurts to breathe
I’ll move on
No I won’t let you see me fall
No you can’t hurt me at all.
‘Cause it’s winter in my brain
But summer’s in the air
Even though it’s snowing,
Well I just don’t care
No I won’t let you see me break
No you won’t bring me down today
No you won’t bring me down today
No you won’t bring me down today.
The way you look at me
With those big brown eyes
Makes my stomach dance
Makes my head light.
When your skin brushes against mine
I know I’m in too deep
Because my lungs get tied
My tongue grows weak.
And when you pull me in close
I know there’s no escape
Because when we’re mouth to mouth
You steal my breath away
Desire
Urge
Confusion
Words
Shattered
Silence
Falls…
Pressure
Lungs
Breath
Tongues
Lips
Fingertip
Climax…
Delusions
Swirl
Lies
Curl
Defence
Weakness
End…
Up
Down
Cycle
Drown
Laugh
Cry
Begin…
He could hear the ticking echo through his ears. When the minute hand moved he felt the stinging in his heart which grew stronger and stronger. He knew he was running out of time.
His breath felt like thunder, shaking in his bones. Each step he ran was a race against the hour hand.
Tick.
The pain in his chest brought red dots to his eyes. Stumbling on the pavement he kept on because he knew he had no time.
Collapsing inside their cage, his lungs began to cave. Every breath was forced and shallow. The doubt began to fill in the hollow thoughts. Would he make it?
Tock.
He lost his breath. The pain spread from his chest like a virus. The world before him began to blur. Like a blind man he kept forwards. His feet like cement, the effort to keep moving torturous. His whole body ached, but he could not stop now.
Tick.
A cry escaped his lips. Everything was cloaked in darkness. He was so close. Nearly there. But time keeps ticking and his end was near.
Just move forward. Don’t give in.
Tock.
His heart began to beat in time with the second hand. Each heartbeat roared in his head. His rib cage tightened, restricting his lungs, and crushing his heart. No longer could he continue on as his legs buckled underneath his weight.
Her arms reached for him, but she was too late. By the time she revealed the watch attached to his chest, the hour and minute hand ticked together as he let out his last breath.
With a sob she took the device in her hand and removed the brass watch from his flesh. The golden numbers spread around the face was covered with a brass rib-cage.
Just a little something I cooked up after this week’s picture it & write photo. Check it out!
I looked deep into his crystal eyes and knew it was the end.
With his warm, strong hands wrapped around my neck I could hear my heartbeat echoing within my eardrums. It slowed itself to a dull hum as the black crept into the corners of my vision. Not once did either of us break eye-contact. Not even to blink.
The deep abyss of his pupils seemed to widen as if to pull me in.
I was already in.
My hands loosely held onto his thick wrists, not even bothering to struggle. What use was there? I knew from the start he would be the one. That this would be my fate.
His hands grew tighter and tighter like an anaconda wrapping itself around my body. I went numb under the pressure. The black was everywhere by then; masking all from my vision. All but those eyes. Just as uneasy to read as they had always been, they were hard as stone.
My heart was no longer a wild drum of fear and panic but a single strum of surrender. And as the last note played, his open lips covered mine as he inhaled my sigh of death, breathing in my soul.
