Tinder

Leave it to tinder to entwine two lovers who will never trust each other
We dance slowly holding our bodies close underneath the covers
But no matter how close we get we keep our hearts at arms length
Both broken and beaten, we think this hookup will give us the strength
To traverse the trials of tomorrow and make it past another 24 hours
We try to put as many bodies between us and our past from which we cower
Building Barbed wire conversations while we light a fire in our beds
And we Choke on the smoke as we try not to listen to the voices in our heads
That are Telling us its okay to give our souls away for corporal pleasure
Marching towards the dead end cul-de-sac of casual sex that we think holds treasure
Breaking chemical bonds by creating them with someone else
While Serotonin, vasopressin and oxytocin just fuck with our mental health
Beating around the bush when there is none cuz you made sure to shave
And you're Thinking of your ex instead of me to send ecstasy over you like waves 
Crashing onto the shore of our shared loneliness
While I'm trying to remember how she looked like in her wedding dress
We use each other to achieve our own selfish needs instead
Of opening up our hearts to share the feelings that we wish were dead
Instead of living life and learning how to love again
We only live out fucked up fantasies while calling each other friends
And when valentines day rolls around we plan our own self massacre
We Open the hotel room doors to a desert of flesh and the only oasis i see is her
Slinking and sneaking out of the muddled mess of my mind
When all im trying to do is forget her between the legs of any girl that gives me the time
These masochistic coping mechanisms are a two way street
But thank you for swiping right to help me find solace somewhere with you between the sheets.
