To See You Alive

you can`t be by yourself

you can`t be by yourself

they kept you in the dark in a room with nothing sharp

until you were well

you told me that you were so

scared of what they know

but love isn`t afraid; love is using your first name

in the poems that I wrote

follow me to a home

abandoned at the shore

there`s a story on the walls written in marker across the halls

that you`ll adore

and no one can see us now

like the sun behind the clouds

lets grab a drink for lunch and wash out the taste of blood

from our guilty mouths

when you stepped into the light,

I saw it running down your thighs

and thought what a beautiful sight

to see you alive
