I’ll Remember This

hide away with me, i’ve built a safer place for us
a memorial of beer cans slouching, drained, and crushed
a burial at sea into a frothing ocean, red as wine
i spilled across the carpet and i spilled across my mind
but i need you like the devil needs pestilence and war
i’ll let you touch my heart even if it leaves my ribcage sore
hide away with me from guilt, responsibilities
don’t have to haunt us anymore if we just crush a few of these
and be reborn with shaking knees, brand new and unaffected
why should it matter who we are, and what we’ve done, and who we’ve slept with?
but i need you like the devil needs pestilence and war
i’ll let you touch my heart even if it leaves my ribcage sore
and i breathe you like a smoker sucking on a cigarette
i see you in brilliant colors that are not discovered yet
and i need you like the metal that i taste when we kiss
i’ll make you pretty promises like “of course, i’ll remember this”
