treading.

i wouldnt waste time playing games
if i had an open heart

if i had a reason to believe
that anyone was worth the leap

you say i always
treat you like science
and less like a lover

because people are walking rubix cubes
they elude you into playing with them
for self validation
for a stroke of lust

i am tempted by your lips
but i know
you're getting tired

i wouldnt have to fear the water
if i knew it was deep with love
but i know you're getting tired
of treading in it alone
