Gold Dust from Fever Dream by Auratus

Feels like something,
Might be out of place, but
I will come back down
Hold your sunset with those
Gaslit sweated palms that
Never held her like you wanted to
Broken china glasses
Held up to the sound of
My heart beating loud

I’m trying to be, something that I’m not and it makes me feel so dastardly
But for now I’ll keep it under stilted wraps and never let you be the one to tie me down

There’s gold dust stuck in
The lungs you smoke out
So I will blow your o’s
Yet you still just keep on
Polluting air with your scent,
And it’s choking me out
Didn’t want to see you after all it’s gone but the silence never felt so good

All I wanted to be was the one you loved but you never let me feel that way
And I’m kissing your ribs while backing away, but your eyelids always drown my gaze

I’m trying to be, something that I’m not and it makes me feel so dastardly
But for now I’ll keep it under stilted wraps and never let you be the one to tie me down
