that everything is fine

Storms raged endlessly around us

but we made it out the otherside

So, please, don’t worry, darling

you’re safe, forever, with me

I’ll carve our way through

mountains, rocks, and plains

I’ll lasso down

the moon, the sun, and all the stars

I’ll give you everything

so, please, darling, don’t ever leave

Our love defies convention

defies the very fates

It laughs in the faces

of those too ill-mannered to see its beauty

Those too stiff-lipped

to marvel at its majesty

You are my heart, my soul

the very blood in my veins

I cannot live without you

and our beautiful, wicked game

Don’t care if you stray

just remember to come back here 

in my arms.

Jealousy doesn’t exist for us, darling

you know that as well as I

So why don’t we forget this silly charade

this lovely masquerade

No one else matters when it’s just you and I — 

we can be whatever we want, 

my love.

Brother, lover, killer, Saint

You decide, flip the coin, I’ll wait.

Brother, lover, killer, Saint

You needn't hide from me, love, I’ll never retreat.

Brother, lover, killer, Saint

You know my heart will never ever change.

Let’s run away one day

far from here where we can just be

No titles, family save us, or lies between

these sheets, our lips, your gasp, my kiss

One day, I’ll show you, love

this dream I’ve held in my heart.

For now though, love, 

don’t pull away from me.

Don’t leave my heart in ruin

When all that’s said and done.

Now that all this is done,

I will never judge you anything but a sinner

Whom I love more than I can tell

Fall into me again, lover— 

Brother.

Fall into me and D R O W N.

Take the hand I’ve always offered

waiting for yours to grasp.

Draw ever closer, love

ignore all else

I will be forever waiting

a bastard in the dark.
