Take it.
By Belle
You always did like
To be the one
Taking me apart
At the seams
Pulling my heart strings
Making those
Beautiful chords
In flats
But mostly they felt sharp
Mostly they felt
Like dragging nails
Across the chalk board
In grade school
The one where they wrote your name
If you did something wrong
Well,
I've done something wrong
Can you smell our flesh
Burning like candles
Across nights
Like these
When they lay lovers (like us) to rest
Are they after you
Like criminals
Laying low in the dark
Ducking underneath our bed sheets
Should I hide your heart away
Like a precious jewel
If you should make it home
I'll share everything with you
I won't give up
For good.

Half way through it seemed to change it's meaning, or I'm just not getting it. Nonetheless, it had a wonderful flow to it and the emotion isn't lacking in either half :) *~seraph~*
