the sound of thunder
the thud of a heartbeat
the cry of the rain
the darkness of the clouds

it all seemed so familiar

the sun came up
he told me it was a new day
i groaned; i muttered
just please make it go away

dragging myself everywhere i go
there is nothing more than i want
nothing more
but to be wrapped around your arms

gently lying on soft feathers
letting the heavy bag rest
letting everything off my chest
letting it all go

The first night
You talked to me of sorrow
How he whispered to you
And how you drank every word

You told me it felt good
And that I shouldn't worry
But I did
You laughed at me; you told me it was nothing

The second night
You talked to me of pain
How he lingered on your skin
How you longed to let it happen again... and again

I saw the hurt in your eyes
But you were smiling
You told me I worry too much
And worry, I should not

The third night
You talked to me of death
How inviting he was to you
How you talked to him every night

I asked you
"What do you talk about?"
You answered me with a laugh
You told me it wasn't any of my business

The fourth night
I was alone
You had gone with all three:
Sorrow, pain, and death

I didn't know where you had gone
You cut our communication
No one knew
Where were you?

The fifth night
You were asleep
You looked so peaceful
Before they brought you down

Now it is I who talks
I talk of sorrow
I talk of pain
I talk of death

But not in the same way that you did

You are the air
Within my lungs
You are the blood
That makes my heart beat

You are the veins
That connects my very being
You are the ligaments
That cling on to every part of me

You are the sight
That my eyes give me
You are the laugh
That my mouth is able to produce

You are everything;
Every inch of my being

I hope,
Oh how I hope
That I am every inch
Of your being too

You were never one to talk;
To tell someone about dreams
You constantly threatened
Threatened yourself, I presume.

But it was mostly me.

I looked at you today
Eager to tell you about my plans
My whole self, lighting up to the idea
And then you kept quiet.

You didn't look at me.

They all left
They left the conversation
I wanted to stay;
To tell you more

But I figured, *you were never one to talk to about dreams

I need not to worry,
they said
"I need not to worry"
so I told myself

Days go by
Months blow by
Like a breeze;
So quick

I need not to worry
about the heaviness
I feel it;
The burden of it everyday

I need not to worry
so they said
"I need not to worry"
so I said
------------------------------------------------------------­-------------------
"What are you thinking about?" he asked me.
I stare at my reflection as I say to him "I'm afraid."
He asked me what I was afraid of.
*"I'm afraid I'm starting to worry."

--
if you can twist your words
in a way
that could let it linger
at the tip of my tounge

let's hope that
those words
are what they really are
not some disguise

if you could see
that your name is engraved
in every inch of my body;
every inch of my soul

**whe­re are you now?
