Mist and shadows surround me
My limbs all but broken, so weary
So tired of knowing where they desire to go
Yet never quite arriving
I just want to let myself fall
And have you catch me
You would be so easy to fall into...
...like quicksand
I would be completely absorbed, consumed
Where my limbs would fail me yet again
The harder I would try to move them
To create a safe distance for my heart
The further I would sink, deeper into you
The suction between our souls so great
So powerful... that surely if I were to break free
The chasm that would be left, would separate the earth in two
