Ribcage

I watched you falling
A drop into the ocean
Sirens calling
And drowning in slow motion
Holding me back, but you’re gripping so tight that your knuckles crack
You rest your eyes, the waves sympathise, and you wash to black
Wrap yourself inside my ribcage
Shelter from the tempests and rage
And use my heart, and use my heart
And use my heart, and use my heart
We’re seas apart
Yet softly rock in time
Your shattered heart
Still sailing close to mine
Tighten the ropes as you start to lose hope in the boards beneath your feet
Your rigging has slacked and you’re left to drift and sink into the deep
Wrap yourself inside my ribcage
Shelter from the tempests and rage
And use my heart, and use my heart
Wrap yourself inside my ribcage
Shelter from the tempests and rage
And use my heart, and use my heart
