soul.

Eyes heavy
Words heavy
And we don't know what to do with them.
Words wander
Hands wander
Thoughts wander
And we don't know where to go with them.
Baby don't let them steal your breath. Don't loosen your grip on your humanity. I know and he knows it's the one thing with which we do what we wish.
We are what we want and we are real.
We say what we want and we steal.
We see what we want and we fall.
And I didn't believe them when they said your choices were darker than the shadows you walk in.
And I didn't see the invitation in the dim corners and the empty houses until he flipped that switch.
And I didn't realize that souls can step out for a moment, leaving only human.
So maybe being human isn't the goal.
Maybe human is what we are when we give up and I'm sorry that's not more poetic but I don't know how else to say this and
maybe we should all be defining souls instead.
