I bleed

this words streaming
mix of sane
and a bit of the other as well
I need you
deceived
thoughts caught in my throat
I want to justify your strands of truth
i want to shout
i want to sleep
taught me your sin and you love?
left standing
slack jawed
It taught me to be
alone
singular
these lasting images of breathless
love
ghostly feelings of your hair
tracing my face
as we kissed
I bleed the light away with my tears
I was so naive
my old dreams won't let me see
trying to hold the earth and my last feelings of you
what is in your hands
why still hold this heart of mine
Shut them tight
those eyes on this night
of sleepless dreams
Shut them tight
these eyes of mine
the ones you refused to look into
i took a kiss
you hold my capacity
tears with voices
the muted choir sings
notes falling to the floor
i scream again
your shadow falls
over me infinity
lay me down lightly
huddled-in-a-corner
with this tender touch
i lost from you
In an eon I'll write my mind, you left the many minutes to me
Is that smile
the only one you'll ever give back to me
i have worn
calloused
I took your shadow
it remains with me
these pleas of old
over shinning me
these days of passing
my gaze passing to you
what  I desire
waiting for the sun
the dawn
when
my hopes to return
with thee....
