you talk of me in your heartbreak
like every moment breaks in turmoil
mirroring the surf as they crash on barren sand
I don't want to be the tragic backdrop
that makes your love shimmer like a beacon in the night
how terribly brave it is for you to hold someone so broken
willing your own tears to stop
how terribly brave to see the beauty in accidents
sometimes both serendipitous and tragic
just like how stars collapse onto itself
I don't want to be the shadow that lurks in every corner
or the rainclouds you painstakingly chase away
see the light in me... because that's all I need from you
