Cold January. Heated furnace.
And you, my dear, refuse to sleep.
I think of you.
And lights across the window sweep,
And droplets freeze upon its surface.
My eyes meet yours. We dim the lights.
And suddenly, as one, we’re breathing
My hands, around you, interweaving,
I recollect the gone by nights.
My heart is burning, raging wild.
You place, your hand upon my chest.
Confess, softly whisper, “child...”
Only the silence when I can’t deny it.

Cold January. Heated furnace.
And you, my dear, refuse to sleep.
I think of you.
And lights across the window sweep,
And droplets freeze upon its surface.
My eyes meet yours. We dim the lights.
And suddenly, as one, we’re breathing
My hands, around you, interweaving,
I recollect the gone by nights.
My heart is burning, raging wild.
You place, your hand upon my chest.
Confess, softly whisper, “child...”
Only the silence when I can’t deny it.
