Gone Down
As the cold winter wind blows
And tears stream down my cheeks
I am hot with passion
My skin sticks to you like glue
At times you'd think we were
Part of the same
So much so
That the pain of parting
Is like flesh ripped from the bone
And why are you here
In the presence of my beauty
Helping me feel this way
again & again & again
And why does it happen
And why did it happen
And will it ever happen
Some other day?
Some day...
Here is my heart
Take it
I don't need it anymore
Not any more than any other
It need not beat
To remind me I'm alive
It's my breath and my tears that do that
Most times it's not ok to be me
To feel the breeze on my skin
And the torment in my soul
To substantiate the hunger within me
Hunger that no food can feed
Thirst no wine can quench
So I drink a cup of coffee
And I inhale the sweet smoke into my lungs
And I breathe it out, angrily
And now the snow is replaced by sun
As I gulp for air on the burning shore
It's alright here
I like it....
I'm safe here
With my self
Tucked tightly away...
