Flow the words right from my lips and right unto your skin

I can see that all the veils between us now are growing very thin

 

There is nothing that I fear to be when I am in your arms

You've made me feel so comfortable in all your witty charms

 

Your body there against me, everything lost now in your eyes

With you I could lay forever, with no more crude disguise

 

So gently your hands across my skin, whispering me to sleep

Resting your head against me now your heart is mine to keep

 

How serene the world did become when you took my heart in yours

It's your love, I've come to find, that has opened all these doors

 

To all the things I couldn't feel before you came along

I'm so glad you did convince me that our love was never wrong

 

The sounds of rain outside my door still try to fill my head

But all my thoughts are drowning now in all the words you said

 How could I not understand- why I feel the way I do?

Because if I can't understand this, who's to say it's true?

 Even through this tragic distance, you're all that fills me now

I've sought ways to let you go but I cannot fathom how

 I can't forget this love we had, even when you're far away

And despite these feelings haunting me, there's nothing I can say

 I won't ever hear your voice again- that breaks my heart in two

I'm trying to be stronger now but the shock still feels so new

 I wish you'd tell me one last time just how you love me so

Just one final word from you- so that I might let you go

 

As far away as you might be, I hear these words you say

You may not think too much of them but they get me through each day

 

I cannot help but see your face- you're there in all my dreams

And pushing them aside each dawn is harder than it seems

 

Do you remember all the times we spent- the smile on my face?

Now I hate to see those docks at all- our memories haunt that place

 

I wonder if anything would change, had others known our love

I imagine what you're feeling, looking down from there above

 

Yes I know you had to go away- I understand that part

But what I cannot fathom is what might happen to my heart

 

Through these long months I've dreamt that you'd come home to me

And now in every uniform it's just your face I see

 

You said you wanted me happy- that's why we kept apart

You're the one who makes me happy- you've known that from the start

 

For another smile I'd give my soul and not take a single breath

I'd gladly let that gesture fill me until I met my death

 

I'd never ask that you set me free or that you let me go

But every day apart from you I see my heartache grow

 

I would ask for such a distance, that you'd cut me any slack

For that vital piece of my heart I gave and I'll never ask it back

 All these things you ask of me, they keep me up at night

These promises of future thoughts have thus become my plight

 You say that you would wait for me, and I believe those words

But merely the thought of waiting seems perfectly absurd

 Why you'd pain yourself for me I simply cannot understand

I wonder when you'll realize this isn't what I'd planned

 I'd hoped that you would walk away like every other past

But finally I see you're bound by this dreadful spell I cast

 I'm so sorry that I came to you and stole away your heart

I promise I didn't mean to- not even from the start

 I snared you to me- held you there: a victim to its prey

Until I'm finally done with you, when silently you'll lay

 The breath I stole right from your lips, leaving you so still

It never mattered- doesn't now- how strong your sense of will

 Soon I'll finally deem that you should be free of me

By then my "grace" and "beauty" will be all that you can see

 Still you disregard the truth that I am poison to your mind

This fateful touch will taint you and hold you in its bind

 Yet still you stand before me now, desire in your eyes

But all these traits you bind to me are your own imagined lies

 I'd let you walk away right now- I'd give you back your soul

But every word you say to me sinks you deeper in this hole

 You drown in all your thoughts of me until you cannot move

Determined that my words alone are all you need to soothe

 You wish to show me all the love your tortured soul does bear

When all these things you feel for me I wish you wouldn't share

 They make me want to go away- to hide myself from you

Because I'm not sure just what I feel or if those things are true

 Understand that what I feel is what I fear to know

And despite the efforts I might make these thoughts will one day show

 I wonder what you'll think of me when that day is finally here

I'm sure you're prepared to tell me there's nothing I should fear

 I cannot make you understand all these things I'll feel

Wondering each moment just which ones are real

 I can only imagine what you'll think once all of me is shown

And I wonder if you'll regret all this; if only you had known

Fall twilight I do think, of these hours that I waste
Dreams of being with you, of remembering how you taste

Like sweetness falling from the sky and right unto my lips
My heart does stutter at the thought of those delicious drips

Those rains did wash away from me all that was impure
Leaving behind sheer beauty that is nothing but demure

Gone away is all the pain that I just might have felt
And in its place the feeling that my heart could surely melt

Straight into the intrigue that you have brought to me
Letting me breathe deeply now my soul is finally free

No longer am I prisoner to my own eternal night
The world is full of color now from our internal light
