I could
Lay outside of you forever
Just to hear
The breathe of you
The beat of your heart
Through a skin so thin
I'm afraid to touch you
Such a crystal being
Folded wings
Underneath
A lightened body
Eyes closed over
Crystal seas
Of swimming tears
Turmoil
Wracking limbs
So close
So far
So tempting
I reach
I brush
My lips lightly over
Lips that are open
In your sleep
And I feel
A thousand things
I see a million places
I never knew existed
perhaps I am
Taking a journey
Into the shadows of your mind
That no one
Has ever tasted
Seem
Experienced
And I am
Not really here
NO I am forever
Locked outside you
Outside all I have craved
And I lay back
On pillows softened
By your presence
An pull myself up
Into a position
Where I can only gaze
For the fear of seeing
Those things you feel
Consumed me unlike
The waterfalls of Niagara
Or the blizzards of places
That chill me to the bone
And I
Shall never truly be
With you
Always alone
For even though you are close
You are never here.
