From the darkness, I feel your hand

Reaching from the mists beyond

My heart fails, my mind paralyzed

 

The room is dark, sheers cross my face

A veil into the unknown

 

Your strong fingers familiar, your musk heavy

I cannot believe, I move away quickly

Fear fills my heart, my mind reels aimlessly

 

This love unspoken, my lifetime a torment

Dark is this night, and my candle a faint relief

 

You sit upon my cold bed, the coldness increases

I shiver, my mind denies your whispers of love

I draw my knees up, my chest heaves broken gasps

 

You touch my hair, fingers gently trace my face

My heart screams in terror, I mutter, lies, deceit

 

You smile understanding, I break and tears fall

The candle blows out, I feel a cold embrace

My heart falls, I hear a laugh and terror embraces me

 

You are my love, and the silence is deafening

My heart is broken and yet even now you melt me

 

I lay me down to sleep, cold and content

You lay beside me, your object of interest

I think of things gone and what never came to pass

 

Together we pass through life bankrupt

From the darkness, I feel your touch
