Only Electrostatic

~

You left me hanging on heartstrings, and every word you say

is a drop of acid, burning its way

into my mind, as I fall

into your eyes, as you call my name;

and every whiff of you takes my breath away.

You love me forever and a day,

but darling, that’s only ‘cause I dug your heart a grave.

So bleed me out through your lightning-lined veins

because we’re only electrostatic, but that’s okay.

I’m a tangled mess, and my mistakes

are scrawled all over

your dog-eared pages, and coffee stains

blot out the lies

that eat your gut from inside

‘cause the butterflies have all gone away.

You told me I could fly.

You’re tearing my wings apart.

But I can still kiss away all of your scars

bleeding honeysuckle venom as you try to put back all my pieces.

Go on, staple them with sweetness.

Darling, don’t be bitter

I kissed you goodnight, now it’s your turn.

I love you forever and a day

Oh, you can take my heart down to your grave

Bleed me some ambrosia, darling, drive me insane

Sing to me in electrostatic, tell me everything’s okay.

Let me leave you hanging on heartstrings

forever and a day.
