SELFISH RESIDUE

SELFISH RESIDUE

There are lines
That cannot be crossed
Etched in silhouettes
Of skin and bones
And the heart quickly beats
The lingering of lust
Trips our feet

Temptation is satisfaction reversed
Quenching temporary thirst
Lying underneath the sin
Easily broken beneath cracks of dirt
Leaving faith stripped
Upon needles and pins

Yet when we’re naked of the world
Is when we’re exposed to you
Nothing hiding the habit of the selfish residue
That runs rampant through our veins

This love could be so magnetic
That it pulls the earth
And melts the moon
Like slipping fireworks
Dying for just one touch
Of the ground we walk upon

If only
If only we’d believe
