My dreams are invaded by you; I am besieged by emotions I'd rather not feel anymore// Your spirit lingers on my lips and tongue; everything about you I cannot have// It's the only place you meet me; it's all fiction, bittersweet fiction// I'm left to wonder if it's you reaching out, or me stuck in the past; I cannot know//
I loved you with the deepest pits of my loneliness. We could have walked for days inside The eroded holes in our very being. Echoing out, calling each other's names. We tried to just keep each other safe In the same caves we thought kept us protected But it just stirred up more despair As we got lost in each other's darkness.
I am not a stream Nor a babbling brook I am a pond with a passing ripple A sinking stone, thrown, once shook With a shake often and aware of it I am never content With the soft waters unbroken As a stream I am not known
