Candy

How could the ground tease me so
Threaten to swallow me whole
Then not follow through?
Reminds me of you
In that way
Holding me taut
I vibrate like a wire between two poles

Candy between your lips
Your words are so sweet
And though I've been hurt before
I trust you now
I choose to trust you more

I'm happy to wait for a beat
till I'm more steady on my feet
For my eyes to adjust
To the night sky and the changing of stars
I think I may have travelled far too far

Furrow between my brows
My thoughts are bittersweet
And though I've been hurt before
I trust me now
I choose to trust me more

But when the ground parts what will I do?
When the ground parts what will I do?
When the ground parts what will I do?
When the ground parts what will I do?
When the ground parts what will I do?
