Spiraling

Listen to your thoughts when they come around
Don’t drown em out
Do you hear the sound of his heartbeat now
Isn’t it similar to the one you got
And had since your first day
Through terror and heartache
Be here to lift him up

But if you let him down will he go tumbling
Tumbling into the ground
If you give him up to return stumbling
To all that’s held him down
Resentment is a cold you cannot sleep away
With loveless companions
And keeping alone is all he was looking for
When you spiraled into his way

Can you see the threads of his heartache
Sewn in every mistake
He makes for good or want or spite
You’re a sigh he tries to swallow as his companion
A slow-witted cheapskate
Bad teeth and a headache
What if he’s had enough

But if he lets you down will you go tumbling
Tumbling into the ground
If he gives you up to return stumbling
To all that’s held you down
Resentment is a cold you cannot sleep away
With loveless companions
And keeping alone is all you were looking for
When he spiraled into your way
