The Shift in the Air

I never feel more alone 

Then I do with you 

Your presence consumes my emotions 

Filling them with loneliness 

Feeding my depression 

Your deafening silence 

Piercing my mind 

Jabbing this knife in my heart 

All I long for 

Your honey-sweet voice 

Whispering your innermost thoughts 

I want these thoughts 

To slip from your lips unfiltered 

Whole and true 

Even if they split my spine 

Desiring the truth 

Your truth 

Cause the memories of you 

Dement me 

The ones of last May 

The days that you'd whispered 

The three little words that brighten my day 

The times that 

I was never close enough 

The hours spent 

With your fingertips learning my body 

Repeating your exploration of my valleys 

To build a memory 

The moments spent 

Under warm blankets 

The late night conversations that never end 

But suddenly the air shifted 

A change in the seasons 

Talks began to find an end 

Now they it seems as though they never even begin 

I'm always too close 

Never far enough 

Funny how things change with the seasons 

But I have not 

Continuously wanting and craving 

Of the same thing 

The same person 

You
