Tangled Vines

You call me in the middle of the night

Your words like honey but they sting

Not right

You say you love me

Then twist the knife

Sweet poison in your smile

Sharp as life

It’s a dance we know

Round and round

A carousel that never slows down

We’re tangled vines

Choking the sun

Holding tight but coming undone

You pull

I push

It’s all the same

Loving you feels like losing the game

Your hands are soft but they leave marks

Whispers echo

Lighting sparks

I’m drowning in the flood you bring

A siren song I can’t stop to sing

Do we rise or just combust

In the ashes

Do we trust

Every kiss a loaded gun

Every fight we’ve already won

We’re tangled vines

Choking the sun

Holding tight but coming undone

You pull

I push

It’s all the same

Loving you feels like losing the game
