A Sliver Of A Missed Forever

Forgotten years build tension
Like a grand piano wire
Burning hotter, burning hotter
That subdued and latent fire

Now we know that past is faded
But can taste it through the dust
Hearts remember their entangling
Bodies screaming out with lust

We are two that are forbidden
Though we've melted here before
And the longing for eachother
Shakes with ardor to the core

For so long I've simply smiled
Passing by you in the sun
Our faces proper, cold and stony
Shadows fusing into one

Until the molten cores within us
Churn to blast right through our hearts
Knowing we can't be together
But refuse to be apart

Sitting by you in the darkness
Oceans raging in my skin
Your eyes deep enough to drown me
And I know I'm sinking in

I can see the same engulf you
And I know you want to dive
Life is ashen gray indifference
But with you I was alive

The music fades into the background
As we both pretend to to listen
But we know that we are falling
Breaking out of time's just prison

Then the tension brakes like fire
Spreading into one another
Waves of chained up passion release
As we flow into eachother

And the kiss is so familiar
Not forgotten, yet surreal
It's like nothing ever changes
Lost in how you make me feel

From the minute that you touch me
With your hands and with your tongue
The life we've lived since fades around us
Back in time, when we were young

And the love we make is magic
And it's comfortable and true
And we revel in emotions
Tears from me, and tears from you

And you whisper, "Never leave me,
Never let me go again.."
And I promise as I hold you
As I as I kiss your warm, soft skin

And we spend the night together
The love between us like an art
A final kiss before departure
Carrying promises in my heart


But morning pours it's gold
And it brushes clean the night
And our empty hearts, wrung out and dry
Are shriveled by the light

So perhaps it was a cleansing
Now the spring has been uncoiled
With the draining of the heart-fill
That for one-another boiled

But the salt that's left infects us
We will always sigh and wonder
How our life would be together
If we surrendered and went under


Since the night of tides has passed us
Not a word between us spoken
And the night is lost forever
Perhaps our years of chain link broken

But I'll always bleed here for you
In my heart, if just a bit
As I remember a time of being alive
And a heart that so perfectly fit
