Davies) ----------------------- breathing out & breathing in a body burning, weightless, dreaming no gravity can hold me down oblivious and barely moving pouring out & pouring in saltwater kisses, scent & skin all spilling over, slipping down a storm against a window pane The Lazarus restored from dust a leap of faith, an act of trust just hold me down & let it pass for a moment I nearly lost myself till you talked me in off the ledge talked me in off the ledge & pulled me screaming dragged me screaming from the wreckage I'm tired tired of walking on the wire tired of walking on the wire no, don't look down just take it one step at a time calm, unconscious, still & senseless child like, innocent, defences down, beneath cool sheets, cool blankets freed & sleeping with your secrets The Lazarus restored from dust a leap of faith, an act of trust just hold me now & let it pass sometimes I nearly lose myself till you talk me in off the ledge talk me in off the ledge no, don't look down we'll take it one step at a time will you talk me in off the ledge will you heal the bleeding edge & pull me screaming drag me screaming from the wreckage? © Iva Davies
