lover's grip

You could be the death of me

Break me down with every touch

It's alright, babe

I had a feeling my time was up

Hold me gingerly

While I rest on this countertop

You're the only one

That I think of while my mind rots

Kiss me tenderly

So I forget the pain I've endured

I'll sink steadily

Disappear through these hardwood floors

There's no light here

The only warmth drips from your skin

All I could be

For a glance that cuts within
