heather-maria and the winter solstice

i wrap my arms around you 

just because I can't think of any other way to try to hold you together


this world isn't gonna hold me

I'm gonna break free

I have to let go eventually 


and all things fade quietly into the day by day

that's the bite mark from jaws that have kissed much flesh

and the golden signature on my clothes


but my love burns so hot and bright 

it's incinerating itself from the inside

and I'm gonna break free 

they're gonna snuff me

into white ashen stains into the concrete


I wish I could sleep with you forever in this white and soundless place

but you'd break free

and escape without me


I'm gonna miss you when you're gone 

I'm gonna miss you when you go for a while

For a day or so

For a week or two 

For a month or three 

For close to four years

For forever

Or even for a moment

I'm gonna miss you though I've never once seen you

I'm gonna miss you the day this world can't hold you

And you break free
