lover's grip

You could be the death of me
Break me down with every touch
It's alright babe
I had a feeling my time was up

Hold me gingerly
While I rest in this countertop
You're the only one
That I think of while my mind rots

Kiss me tenderly
So I forget the pain I've endured
I'll sink steadily
Disappear through these hardwood floors

There's no light here
The only warmth drips from your skin
All I could be
For a glance that cuts within
