Lingers On

"Hold on, we'll sort this through"
I said to myself a handful of lies
Scared hands limit the sharp thoughts
That made me hang from all possible heights

After it all went, it didn't go
I drowned in my dreams while swimming to you

Sweet pain of longing, I wish you could go
You only cause discomfort and a false sense of hope
I would be better off knowing that it had never been
But a light scent is enough to live it again

Lunged into nothing, grip on the bed
It feels a bit sweet, but tastes pretty fucking sad

Sweet pain of longing, I wish you could stay
I want to feel again what it’s like to bathe
In another sea and feel myself embraced
While not afraid of what lies beneath
