Since You Came - Malina

«Today» is such a deceptive word

For I spent all my days

Grieving loud

I sang all my pain

So distressingly

Just to hush up any imploring shout

I couldn’t speak

'cause the words I knew

Like rotten mushrooms dissolved

You came out of that

Burring host of sounds

Brought me back

Solid consonants and vowels

And now my skin is

So close-fitting

Keeps the line with all the rest

Since you came in

I used to dispel among the things

That people wanted me to do

I thought we got too familiar

To be lovers that

Cherish the flame

All that we need

Is attention

And I know I’ll always give you the same

'Cause now my skin is so close-fitting

Blending with reality

Since you came in

Nothing ever moved me

Like your patience

While you taught me how to choose
