Ellipsis

Never could trust someone like me before

She told me don’t fuck it up

& I would take the stairs but we’re in a rush

Elevator up

This moon, this waterbed

Nothing much

But I know it’s all got something to do with how this line was crossed

44th floor

Building been swaying like a needle in the storm

Peircing, ringing

Dripping from my ear like the words you’ve been singing now

We’ve both got more to be, I know

I wouldn’t trustfall on me

I could just take off running

Leaving this all in ellipsis…

We should’ve guessed it would get so intense

Glowing me up & down

Like this incense

& I listened loud and clear what your lips said

& all you needed to say could’ve been replaced with ellipsis…
