Not For Long

The cold of your prison is crippling You lay me under the corridors Your aroma is so thick with age Rest has found its place My salvation is no more Will you ever free me from my life of torment? The only thing I have of you now Is the reflection of our life as it was? Why were you so cold then? Why must you have been so vile? Why did you finally just decide to leave me? My body is so weak now I’m so lost in that structure that’s collapsing The darkness veils my eyes once again I await your return But when will it be? The space between my blink and the tears that shade my face Could never amount to the love I feel for you Why can’t you see I love you? Why did you leave me? I want to breath again But without you there is no air I want to live But when you’re gone there is no life I can’t see what’s going on In this darkness I am blind Look at me now So miserable without you I don’t understand this life I’m not used to being alone Help me I know not what to do Here I stand so alone In the dark No one near me I have found I can’t survive on my own You have sent the blood tingling through my body And now it needs you to keep it boiling and warm Come back to me Don’t leave me I’ll stay if you wish but Not for longone of the poems my shy boyfriend, Eric wrote :D Written January 5th, 2002 © on Jan 05 2002 11:05 AM PST    18 • 0 • 1
