Crystal BittenWhen I look around now there’s nothing
I can see Of the talking, smiles and magic That became ‘you and me’. Falling slowly into memories That Look that takes your eyes Tight embraces Mirroring each other in our Faces Turned away Laboured breathing Neither Knowing what to say An invisible thread wound through our fingers Each star Sublime and hell Each ill-said syllable Lingers. And what now? No surprises Left unsaid Sleeplessness until the sun rises. To want some sort of yielding A Break In the feelings. No struggle for power A softness to set in Curling up like a crystal-bitten flower Set in ice Set in stone Set so still Silence to bring I take another pill. Drifting began And I cannot stop to Hear and speak And slumber with you. Fragile contact What’s left is bare fact My scarlet words Discarded Ignored Thrown D O W N On the mat. Now closed Now hard No winners Because there’s no trump card. Yes, I get lonely Wanting You only To meet and talk and smile Wrap around each other for A while. Then reality bites And Piece By Piece It all falls away Fluttering around my feet. Fantasy? It’s just denial Making what we had appear so futile Both wishing to go back to the start. Impossible if only I don’t know how to When hiding a broken heart. Seconds Each You on my mind Twisting Searching Hoping to find The solution Some sort of resolution I drop to my knees to the ground. There is just one answer but do not you look to me For in yourself Only Can the answer be found. |
