Lovely

You say things with your mouth
cobwebs and flies come out
I hear a second voice behind your tongue somehow.
Luckily I can read your mind,
flies and cobwebs unwind,
they will not take you down,
they will not cast you out.

Dear friend, here we are again pretending
to understand how you think your world is ending,
sending signals and red flags in waves
it’s hard to tell the difference between blood and water these days.
I’ll pray that one day you see,
the only difference between life and dying
Is one is trying, that’s all we’re called to do
so try to love me and I’ll try to save you.

Won’t you stay alive,
I’ll take you on a ride,
I will make you believe you are lovely.

Your redemption won’t grow stal,e
we are now just setting sail,
on the seas of what we fear,
treason now is growing near to me.

I’m coming clean.
God, hit me straight on.

Don’t be gone.

You say things with your mouth,
cobwebs and flies come out.
