The Awful Sweetness of Escaping Sweat
we Dmescape from the house
as the day dissapears from the Amsky
Into night
we bacame what we wanted to Cbe
like a Gdream or a Amghost
i Dmcollapse out of turn
near a house
lying still in the Amgrass and felt the heat from the ground
rising up to contrCact and expGand like a Ambreath
we Dmescape from that place
soaked with sweat and the poison we Amdrank
fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will Cbreak
like a Gheart
Ameasily
but i Dmdo not recall all the Gwords that were formed
on those Amwire lips as they greeted me
a Dmpromise was made witout Gthought as the temperature Amclimbed
and i Dmstarted to sink like the Gmoon
tends to do if you Amstare Eat Cit Emtoo Glong
then you Eblink and it's Amgone
and we Ccrawl to our Gsleep with the Amdawn
Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake"
i Dmawake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly Amwarm
close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is Cgone
and it's Glight is Amaway
the we are Dmback in the dark
chasing nothing through backyards and Amtrees
you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get Cme
yeah it's Gfear
it makes you so Amlow
and these Dmcreatures look crooked
their shadows cut lines through my Amface and the concrete is fire
where my bare feet are Cplaced
in a Gline next to Amyours
and i Dmguess i'm not sure if it was Gfear that was born
as those Amawful eyes made their claim on us
i put my Dmhands on the fence
said your Gname
and i started to Amclimb
and it Dmmust have been sweat but i Gdrank it like wine
it was Amsweet, Emy Cmouth Emwas Gdry
i heard you Escream but i made no Amreply
i can Cstill taste it Gnow if i Amtry
I'm hoping that's right. Enjoi www.inastorytold.com
