what

forever...???
it kills me inside even to think of this
You make make feel so wrong
Even when I feel so right
You always take the best of me
whenever were apart
I wait on you, to see your face
Hoping one day you'll want the same
Even though I know it will never be
You still take the very best of me
It feels so wrong, but yet it feels so right
So I'm holding on to that one special night
When he returns and holds me tight
We'll be together and it'll feel just right
Say my name
Say it gently
Use your words
To caress me
Speak your thoughts
Speak them out loud
Confess your love
Amidst the crowd
Scream your wishes
Scream your dreams
Make your reality
Better than it seems
Whisper your pain
Whisper your fears
Release the tension
Wipe away your tears
Open your mind
Open up wide
Let my love in
Let me inside

I watch her parting lips
form around tongue-tied mouth
waiting for the words to come
waiting to hear what she has done

I brace myself for what I am about to hear
astonished that somehow she can see through the cascading tears
a haunting silence fills the room
She says her time is ending soon
