I want you like one who only sees sun through one window well known in the darkness alone I yearn for you like grass for morning dew the stars for the moon with the rising tide and nighttime gloom your perfume drives me mad, it drives me forward towards the steep cliff of self-destruction but there are such pretty flowers down there among the rocks the way you talk makes me feel alone, my desires still unknown to you but my pain & time are but sorry gifts distractions from my short comings how do you feel knowing I suffer for you? how would you react to knowing I die a little when you smile? the world around gets drained of grandeur with your beauty so imposed and thrilling to endure your scent makes me me mad with want, it's peppered with my own lonelines far more intense than a need I want that perilous leap, though I am not a man but mistakes laid in heaps at your feet allow me home, that fleeting feeling of it shelter from the storm that rages as time wears thin the sin now left drably within I will find your center, with it my own, in flesh & bone I shall crumble I am humbled I am what you see now before you
