Him
Holding back
From you
Somewhere in the shadow of doubt
Is that dream
I keep dreaming
I'm reminded of it
When I wake up
Not obvious
Enough to draw attention
I assume you'll assume
I'm being drawn
Near to you

You
I wish you were here .  .  .
We could show them
The real way to love
But you're held back
By the curious wonderings
Or maybe,
By me
Don't let me break your burden through

Something about the vision
Of us and the way
I knew it was you
Keeps me dragged on,
Keeps me unwell
All must end,
You're dying out,
My dear
