Apparition

APPARITION You came in the name of He who gave you breath. As certain as the emptiness of time, as hopeless as your life, as hot and cold as death, You came to stay. No holy water, no exorcist's demand, can quench my thirst; my need for all you are. You fill my head with things not meant to understand, You came to stay. I breathe your name, tormented in my dream, and sleepless is the night, You fill my time. You are the joy of life beyond my dying scream, You came to stay. You came in the name of He who'll give us death. You are the calm and blinding of the light. Forever part of me, you are my final breath. You came to stay.
