By My Side.

[rewiiired]

Eons ago you swore you lost me
to this day I insist
I never knew the guy,
that you must have been mistaking
somebody else for me.

Today you would probably warn
I'm treading down
a one-way road to breaking down,
running on fumes,
heading off a cliff,
losing myself,

but I'm just shedding a lie, dear,
I swear up and down
as I shift from side to side, blending
to cure this half-blind, so

come back, come closer,
see if you want
what's been hiding beneath
see if you've truly got a taste
for what I really am,
for what I'm truly uncovering,
discovering,
remembering.

Be a courageous girl now,
look in my eyes,
see if you can take
the naked and indiscriminate,
the raw and pure, the unrelenting,
the passionate and unapologetic.

You can't own him,
so you'll never lose him,
but he wouldn't mind you
by his side.

Fuck,
I could use you
by my side.

I like this. It's sweet.
