The Cycle

you'll forget where you are
you'll forget where you've been
you'll forget what is
you'll go back again


you'll reach for what's right
because you feel what's wrong
you'll stand your ground
until you realize he's gone

you'll take him into your mouth
into your secret place
you'll share your warmth
and kiss the tears from his face

you'll be his ground
when his breaks apart
shelter him from the rain
and let him go when it feels insane
but you can't let him wander far

you'll pray for the sun
when the darkness lingers too long
you'll hope for better tomorrows
and dream while you're awake
you'll grasp on to the smallest hint of hope
and pretend everything's ok

you'll compromise what's supposed to be free
to prove what's never enough
you'll let him breath your breath
all for the sake of love
