On Your Mind
I know your thoughts
I know how you are
Going to answer me
Before you even
Say a word
I know which demons
Are tormenting you today
I know when your soul
Screams for vengeance
And when it is crying
Lonely tears of sorrow
I understand you
More than you realize
I think I have a better
Understanding of what
Drives your actions
Than most do
Sometimes I even
Think that in ways
I understand you better
Than you do yourself
Because I can see what
You are unable to
Your motives through
An objective cornea
I carry your pain
With me everywhere
That I travel
Like it is my own
I feel my body shaking
Sweat dripping down
My terrified face
For I tremble in fright
From the claustrophobic
Sensations that I feel
From being trapped
In this haunting abyss
Suffering in silence
Right by your side
Darkness preventing
You from sensing
My loving presence
When I touch you
I feel the chill
Of solid ice
Seperating us
Come closer
My love for
If only I could
Give you a
Warm embrace
I could melt away
The frosty surface
That prevents me
From reaching you
And then finally
I can rescue you
From your captors
From yourself
From everything
That you are
Running from
As long as I
Breathe I will
Fight for your
Release from
The prison in
Which your
Heart is locked
Away from me
And where your
Mind is chained
To yesterdays
Agonizing torments
