The Ties That Bind

Every thought too fast to speak

In every moment an emergency

 

Would you hear me

If I spoke without reason

Would you feel me

If I ignored your touch?

Does my love for you

Fall with the season

Or maybe I

 

Or maybe I

 

Am running out of luck

 

You split the winds with your temper

Your passions are tempered

For the desire

To be tied in a truss

 

If I give in

I give to you too much

Would you want me still

If I am weathered...

In a sandstorm can you feel my touch?

 

Does being blind in the dark

Stir the disfunction

To see what we are not

 

You spoke to me in riddles

Expecting a solution

But I only had questions

And neither of us should have survived this far

 

I will meet you in the car.
