Take a look at my body,
Look at my hands,
There's so much here
That I don't understand.
You made so many promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them.
I've been treated so wrong,
I've been treated so long,
As if I'm becoming untouchable.
Contempt loves the silence
It thrives in the dark.
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heart.
They say that promises
Sweeten the blow
But I don't need them.
I'm a slow dying flower,
A Frost killing hour,
The sweet distant taste of
untouchable.
I need
The darkness,
The sweetness,
The sadness,
The weakness.
I need
A lullaby,
A kiss goodnight,
Angel sweet,
Love of my life.
Do you remember the way
That you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?
Well, is it dark enough?
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm leaving
You better shut your mouth,
Hold your breath,
Kiss me now before your death,
I'm going to miss you,
I wish you had known,
If you had maybe you wouldn't have gone.
