To be a temporary help

you ran to me, face showered with sweat,

thunder replacing your breath,

"d e s p a r a t e" spelt out in those two damn eyes of yours.

you didn't have to say a word, i already knew everything.

nothing and everything at once.

you ran to me, because you simply needed help,

a human touch, a temporary place to stay.

i was your bed n breakfast, you were my rock n roll,

though i'm not sure you had ever known. . .

you wanted to be needed, and i wanted to get burnt

disappear into ashes because of you.

you ran to me, not knowing it'd make me both thrilled and angry at the same time. because i was pretty damn sure even the old lady next door was able to hear the sound of my accelerating heart when placed next to you.

but somehow, you were deaf. . .

or that's what i keep telling myself, anyway.
