Scott Ryan Ingersoll - Couldn't Stay

I was the scent of a coming storm
The ashen ghost of a dying flame
Now these legs are filled with sand
I haven't left the ground for days
I always thought I'd run out of poses
Run out of lines to read
Now that I've traced every line around your eyes
I'm writing sonnets in my sleep

And you were a warm light
That beckoned me

When you knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
And you held me anyway

I never thought outside this room
I could feel so incomplete
So bare your soul, your skin, your fangs
I need to feel you next to me

And feel your warm touch
The hands that beckoned me

When you knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
And you held me anyway

Slowly swimming upward 'til I was
Taken by your lure
The sweetness of the hook in my mouth
The only thing I trust for sure

When you knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
You knew I couldn't stay
And you held me anyway
