Phantom Limb

Rough around the edges Borderlines and fences You came with the softest steps And settled into me Coalesce We crossed our hearts with a finger prick And words you whispered as a sacrament They stay with me like a phantom limb Underneath the surface Cavernous and earthen You echo in first person And there within emerges a better gravity Coalesce We shed our skins, traded fingerprints I feel the pull of your ligaments It stays with me like a phantom limb I'm a silver lining, you're my golden hour Everything looks better in this light of ours If your voice won't carry through the distances You don't need to raise it, I can read your lips I'm a silver lining, you're my golden hour Everything looks better in this light of ours Feel the numbness lifting where your fingers press And you stay here with me like a phantom limb"
