&quot;Swim for the music that saves you when you&#039;re not so sure you&#039;ll survive.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.&quot;<br /> <br /> &amp; tons more.

Your name written on the back of
my hand in permanent ink, like the
memory of you engraved on my heart.
You’re my safety net and nothing less.
Your love keeps me in this stagnant
cage, ricocheting back and forth
with no possible way to escape.
Your love is a trap and nothing more.
