I Need -

Stay
Stay with me
Hands on your heart
Flowing
Flowing against me
No -
Listen, no.

You and I
You promised
Bullet to your heart
A bullet to mine
I beg
Beg -
Listen, please.

Whispered gasps
I mirror
No words
Wait
Open your mouth
Barbed words
Listen, breathe.

Rain, tears
Tears, rain?
Don't cry, no
It's me?
Washing away
Darkness remains -
Listen, listen.

The world
See it
Focus, clarity
Evict nothingness
Like a disease
Cleanse it, burn it -
Listen, come back.

Red, passion, you think?
Red, death, I know.
Blue, my eyes
Blue, your skin
Black, my face
Black, you sink
Listen, I need -

No
Please
Breathe
Listen
Come back
I need -
You.
