Silently Screaming Still
In the still of the morn I wait
as darkness silently screams inside
needles pierce last loose threads of skin
and still here I wait with the pain
ready for it to call out my name
to cuddle in my arm
to caress my veins, my heart, my head
am I walking, am I dead
bring me life where I can stand
and breathe you in
make love all afternoon
in the desert of despair
in destinations where time won't care
I run these fingers thru your hair
as you sleep
hopelessly, helplessly
at your beauty I still stare
waiting for pain to disappear
