Careless from Paradiso by Katrina Harms

If I walked out in the ocean with both arms wide open
Would you follow me, follow me, haplessly
I won't love you between the lines of stolen kisses and borrowed time
I won't live like a beggar at your knee
Why must I be water, why must you be stone
Is this what we must barter to keep from being alone
Why must I be the water, and you be the wine- just here for a good time
Superhuman diadem, why do I build a pedestal beneath them?
Why do I cry when I find out they're human too?
Is this what I learned about strength, it's untouchable
Unreachable, at arm's length
Why do we fall in love just to let it die?
Why must I be stronger than the tide you pit against me
I could sink or swim or just be afloat on your wave
Why must I choose the high road and watch you drown in your own flood
Why must I watch on another soul I cannot save?
Alone again, falling in love on my own again
Lover is a strange word;
these stone women and men won't love nearly enough
Won't see the stars for fear of the darkness, won'rt risk discomfort
despite of the art of it, would rather be numb than be intimate,
What's this dispassionate, negligent armistice?
The royal They will have their way stealing roses and hearts
And casting their gaze upon me, your pretty pony
Blue ribbon hobby horse love toy
Don' make me your low fruit, your carnival brass ring
Why are you careless with beautiful things?
If I walked out in the ocean with both arms wide open
Would you follow me, follow me?
