velvet chidren ground sunrise pain love night silence happy together alone piano sky breathe wild
i.
I’m a porch child with a mouth of piano keys
My feet brush the skyline, I’ve dozed on uneasy hands
My shoe laces tracing jets across your purple and blue,
I collapse where you ride the breezes of simple breathing
ii.
You’re a wild child who knows how to spin a fancy tune
My fingertips align with the mountains of your mind,
My elbows are raw but I can keep with your time
The things you won’t let me remember haunt in unlikely acquaintances
I tried to rest but found a whole world, just sleeping
iii.
They are the ground children who glide with the sunrise
While my presence stays behind perfuming cold nights,
My silenced thoughts still hold on, but we work past the lies
We’ll unzip these rivers to unearth our paths: tonight is ours
I’ve lost myself, but I won’t lose this feeling
I raced my memories, but there was no use in competing
I will not leave you alone.
