Drifter

[SpruceMoose]

V2
Threads of fate cinching tightly,
Weaving us together flesh to flesh
Laid bare backed on bedrock 
Building our home.

But can I be a cornerstone
With a heartshaped flake?

An easy going smile
My prized poker face
Your heart bursting with passion
Is easy to throw away

I'm numb to the pull
A stray told to stay

Wandering the cosmos
An errant shooting star.
Not meant for your hands
And too far for the heart.

Hang on a little longer
Anchor to the deep.
Or restless wings will carry me
Away in my sleep.

Remind me to stay
When I long to leap.

Silt slips through fingertips
And so can I.

Your eager threads pull tighter
Until the old me is gone

Threads of fate cinching tightly
Weaving us together flesh to flesh
Laid bare backed on bedrock 
Building our home

But how can I be a stone
With a heartshaped flake

An easy going smile
My prized poker face
Your heart bursting with passion
Is easy to throw away

I'm numb to the pull
A stray told to stay

Subject to parallax
A lonely shooting star
Not meant for your hands
And too far for the heart

Hang on a little longer
Anchor to the deep
Or restless wings will carry me
Away in my sleep

Remind me to stay
When I long to leap

Silt slips through fingertips
And so can I

Hold me tighter
Until the old me is gone
