Ripples

Your fingertip traces my skin Like a stone that the wind blows in A ripple travels slowly beneath I haven't learned to say no to this Your breath becomes a tide I keep Each syllable pulls me from the deep I lay myself down like a glassy lake Just waiting for your touch to make me break And the surface breaks Wherever you touch it shakes Ripples ripples spreading everywhere you are Ripples ripples you're the stone I'm the glassy water Ripples ripples this trembling has no end Ripples ripples you throw yourself in I'm no longer flatland Your whisper a wave I couldn't see Pulling me so quietly into the sea Something grows where light won't reach I close my eyes and let it teach Your pause breath becomes a quake Each silent inch makes my whole body shake I turn myself into a lakes upward stare Just waiting for your stone to meet me there Ripples ripples spreading everywhere you are Ripples ripples you're the stone I'm the glassy water Ripples ripples this trembling has no end Ripples ripples you throw yourself in I'm no longer flatland
