Let me wipe your tears away
Let me wash
Them from your face
I pray that tomorrow
you will wake up
and that we will face another day
together.
Do you know what alone is?
Alone is not when you are
by yourself. Alone is
when you are in a crowd
Yet all others push past you
And you do not exist to them.
Your words are dreams in my ear
You tell me
that I will not always be
empty.
What else can I do?!
I scream!
I pray!
I cry!
You tell me, you tell me,
that the one thing I cannot do...
I shall not die.
You crumble into me
and I
faint.
I fade away,
leaving nothing to chance.
I lose myself
in your inexorable embrace.
It alone cannot be taken from me.
It cannot be taken from me,
or I too shall be lost
to fate. And I
shall never heal.
I shall die in a frozen forest
of fiery dragon’s breath,
your soulful eyes
the only objects
remaining in my
stilled and quiet
memory.
Your gaze haunts me,
and it clutches my eyes
and makes me want to press
every part of myself
into you
My eyes cannot be close enough
To take in every inch of you
I close myself into you, into you,
And you suck me
inside your gentle soul.
I breathe.
Behold your beauty!
I cannot stand it
I cannot understand it
But I can understand
That I love you.
That I scream from every part of me
That I love you, I love you,
I love you.
And how could I ever not admit it?
I sing it. It drives me.
It keeps me from falling
apart. It keeps me in motion
when I would rather stay in bed
and dream.
Instead
I look up to the sun each morning
I imagine looking into your eyes
And the dream
becomes real.
