just to the left of love
in between lust
and insanity
i lie

as you trace my emotions
with your words you speak soft
and slip sweet everythings
in my ear

enough to drive a girl
to stop drinking
is the intoxication
of the sugar that you spill

i don’t know where to put this in my heart
i’m perforated and easy to pull apart
hungry enough to try and steal
what you so willingly give

satiate my thirst
satisfy the urge
but wait…
don’t

if it gets any better
i may be lost wondering where i left
my poise and reservation

i keep trying to walk away but every time
we part
i come
apart

trying to get around
the places you send me
a rambler on the paradise-despair line

i keep trying to walk away
but your reach is
just long enough and
just strong enough to pull your name
from my chest long and slow
along with whatever good sense
i have left
