Remnants of A Sunset - LJ Mercer

[05:15.0]The sun’s already set and we’re halfway across to the moon
[05:15.0]The planet spins round but we’re stable in your room
[05:15.0]And the sky’s run from orange and red to dark blue
[05:15.0]Gravity stops for a second,
[05:15.0]my lips have made their way back to your neck and I’m at peace with you
[05:15.0]Talk on for hours,
[05:15.0] I know that you can,
[05:15.0]and whisper that you’re falling too
[05:15.0]Your atmosphere pulls me,
[05:15.0]with help from your hand.
[05:15.0]My little love,
[05:15.0]our sun sets on command
[05:15.0]And it’s more than the words that I pry from my heart
[05:15.0]Everything stops for a moment,
[05:15.0] I’m dreading the drive I take home and
[05:15.0]you tear me apart
[05:15.0]Smile on forever,
[05:15.0]you’re made up of stars
[05:15.0]I’m breathing you in and all that you are
[05:15.0]My little galaxy,
[05:15.0]I’ll pause time for you
[05:15.0]Hold me so close in the depth of your room It’s big enough for us
[05:15.0]and the warmth we emit I can stay yours till my atoms have split
[05:15.0]And I’m born anew
[05:15.0]The sun starts to rise,
[05:15.0] and I’m lost but found in your arms Oasis of time,
[05:15.0] time lived with you is envied by gods
[05:15.0]And they’d carve you from marble,
[05:15.0]had you lived all those years ago
[05:15.0]My love you plant stars with your fingers and reignite flames from a flicker You drive off the unknown
[05:15.0]I’m driving you home
[05:15.0]Smile on forever,
[05:15.0]you’re made up of stars
[05:15.0]I’m breathing you in and all that you are
[05:15.0]My little galaxy,
[05:15.0] I’ll pause time for you
[05:15.0]Hold me so close in the depth of your room
[05:15.0]Stay intertwined like the spine of a book
[05:15.0]Teach me to live like how poets would
[05:15.0]I’ll breathe life from my lips and draw warmth from your kiss
[05:15.0]I can stay yours till my atoms have split and I’m born anew
