A Dream

Be still Be quiet I demand of my heart For others will hear us weeping The scar tissue that hides us is only so thick The sound of 1000 deaths only muffled slightly by the shield of thick hardened skin It’s enough to bring you to your knees. The anguished cry of every life lived without her love I’ve memorized every twinkle, every smirk And the curve of her lips when she laughs These yummy chemicals in my brain screaming at me that I need her to live Maybe they're right This electricity between us, palpable Tangible I know to touch her skin it would be an unfathomable ecstasy A bliss I know I do not deserve And the one beautiful day my begging lips crash into hers I fear I’ll never be able to stop loving her
