Nectar

Is it too sweet?
To taste the nectar of my heart
Each week
And see the parts of me
That make me weep
You've held my weight
I can only hope that you will stay

I'm on your leash
When you tell me about the boys
That you meet
It's oh so hard for me to not want
To compete
Though I'll say
It's not a bother and I'm okay

'Cause I see the stars
Fall into your eyes
When it gets dark
They're so bright
The way they shine from afar
Making my heart
Feel like there's butterflies

But when I sleep
I have the worst damn feeling that you'll leave
And when I open my eyes
You'll be nowhere to be seen
You'll be gone in a blink
How do I not
Feed that voice?

Am I too weak?
To carry all these burdens that you hold
To be the only one by your side when it's cold
And when you cry
It's like the sun
Is leaving the sky

And when I drive
I think about the time we spent that night
All of the things you said to me I can recite
Is this what love's like?
Etching your heart into mine

And this winter breeze
Blows away the last remaining leaves
All that's left are branches and
Barren trees
Leaving you and me
All the words we speak can show

And when we meet
It's like the stars aligned for us to be
Like the sky above meeting the sea
Doesn't it feel right
With your skin on mine

So I'll throw out my phone
And forget all I know
And leave all of my memories
All for this moment
Already found
A place in my heart
Where I lay you to rest
When you've gone, gone

So I'll throw out my phone
And forget all I know
And leave all of my memories
All for this moment
Already found
A place in my heart
Where I lay you to rest
When you've gone, gone (on your own)
