Episode 109: Hot Vampire Summer

Hot Vampire Summer I want to sit beside you Next to the lake On a little blanket Having a sweet escape I want to laugh and dream But it never stays clean Something in me turns sharp When the world starts to gleam The daylight drags me open Like I have no skin left Like every thought gets louder And every calm gets theft I try to act like normal Like I belong in heat But something in my chest breaks Each time I hit the street I watch them move so easy Like bodies made for sun While I am splitting slowly Into two halves undone One half wants to be there Wants laughter and your face The other wants to vanish From every open space I want the night beside me Where breathing feels less wrong Where I don’t have to fake it Where I can still belong The lake at night feels softer Like it knows this kind of man Like I don’t have to fight it Or explain what I am in And I keep thinking quietly Through everything I feel If I should stop pretending And make something feel real Can I ask you tonight To come down to the lake Just you and me and silence No daylight left to breakWritten by https://www.threads.com/@the.insomniac.in.black This is a public episode.
