Contagious

Casey Stratton

Your heart beats in rhythm with mine

Breaking as you go tonight

Melting inside

As you departed

With Jupiter we walked

Through the forest

The ground holds the key

You told me that maybe

You never loved me



I was so afraid of us

And now I know why

You are dangerous

Tried not to keep with you

But you pulled me closer as I

Learned how to make us

You are contagious



I tried not to notice the signs

Your words so unkind

You stayed far too long

In my life



This is the sound that is made

When my heart hits the ground

I react to the loss of you

Time turning faster

But I turn much slower

Embracing my empty life
