I think you just saved me
Just now
Right now
when you left
ages ago
you just saved me
from myself
now
so now I wonder
how can I save you
As if you needed saving from anything
but from shadowy mirrors of myself
As if your light didn’t blind self-proclaimed werewolves
and sun-dried mental vampires
love and a couch
cottage warmth
screeching cords of tensed wire
and immovable souls
resting in satisfaction
dreaming of sun-dried lovelessness
Let me mute these loud echoes of this chaos
in my saved turmoiled head
whilst loving you
in silenced distance
dreaming of saving you
from the need of saving me
