I Want Her Near

In the crisp dawn I meet her gaze I see the loneliness there Insidious and unforgiving I love She knows But the world still grinds a space between My own sick mind fuels her despair and I wonder if I am man enough to save her life The memory of a blade on soft skin The horror of her being ripped from my life It haunts me It haunts her It haunts Will we ever be the same Or will tragedy bring this fire of love and lust to a raging blaze Or will I stand alone at a funeral pyre Wanting her near But watching her drift away Dispirit dancing amongst the flames of my lost love I fear This loss would be too great to bare It would break me and leave me wanting She is more than a woman She is life She is light She is lust and love and hate and anger She is everything to me And she is drifting away The morning light shines on her wonderful face I hope it will continue Forever I want her near
