Root from DOWNHILL by Cheem

With your acid breath, breathing down my neck
you’ll be keeping me awake,
with the words that fall from your gaping maw,
there’s something left that you can take,
take your formal dress and your mind’s unrest,
and throw the leftovers to me
condescending air with a jab to spare
now I’m empty

With a single word you could feel so hurt,
it’s kinda funny how it’s not,
Lashing out so hard that you’re losing parts,
we should have left you to your thoughts,
drinking from my cup, now I’ve had enough
there’s hardly any patience left,
as your mind relents
like your hands on your neck

don’t look at me, I cannot let you leave
mourn with you,
mourn for you,
you’re more important now

watch all the leaves, float along down the stream,
peacefully,
floating free,
you could have gone like them

watch all the trees, go along with the breeze,
still standing,
unmoving,
I hope your roots will stick

don’t look at me, I cannot let you leave
this quickly
