Barriers All Eroding

Another ode to an uncertain love

I know we started in primal adoration

When there was nothing but a quickening heartbeat

And the pounding of the blood in my brain

And in the morning we'll feel the shame

As we stare out to the welcoming rain

But we'll do it all over again

The rum and coke gives me a sense of confidence

A swagger to draw your beauty in

Dizzy from the buzz of the drink

As our inhibitions begin to sink

I'll remember flashes of those times

But I can feel so much more than lust

We're both broken from the past

Buried all of our emotions 

And cremated our sense of trust

And as the days and weeks elapse

Our barriers all eroding, starting to collapse

The way we are is defined by spite

But together we can be a fractured whole

Your smile shines for me, a wonderful sight

This love is all rushed and hurried

The wind quickening and pushing us away

My words to you were always the truth

And every smile meant to enlighten

You're the piece of the puzzle

I can't ever afford to lose

I'll remember flashes of a weird night

A weird feeling, a crooked romance

We're scared of what's to come

And I'll allow myself a hope

To see the dawning sun
