come no closer
but be no further away
I am an oyster
nestled in the depths of the bay
you left in a hurry
angry but with nothing to say
you aren’t broken
you just weren’t willing to stay
is this where you come
when you’re trying to catch fire
cut off your coat and bury ties with a liar
singing
come no closer
but be no further away
waves always roll in slow motion
cloaked in the guilt of the ocean
how do you hold on to anything with only your hands
when there’s so much to grasp
I still feel you
your breath hanging heavy in space
step back from my window
our worlds no longer interlace
now is this where you come
when you’re trying to catch fire
cut off your coat and bury ties with a liar
screaming
come no closer
but be no further away
further away
