Amazing

Something in me trembles

     at the sight of you

The fearful dream that vanished

     in the light of you

 

     and every long embrace that left me

     satisfied and longing

 

Longing to belong to you

 

I keep returning to the life I know

Bury deep my bleeding heart-

     never let it slow

It burns in me,

     this secret ache

     this truth

 

And the only one I trust with this

     is you

 

Something in me stutters

     at the mention of your name

Angels that warn against

     the coming of my shame

 

     no where for me to go-

     if only you could know

 

How I've been longing to belong to you

 

I'll keep returning to the life I love

Everything my ashes built;

     my well-designed and

     passionless repose

I need somewhere to go-

     to tell, to be,

     to show

But the only one I trust with this

 

The only one I must resist

 

The whisper in my tenderness

 

The only one I trust with this

 

     Is You.

This is a truly powerful write. I was able to feel the pulling emotions.

It sings of a love wanted but forbidden, a love felt but never coming to fruition.

Thank-you for such a beautiful piece.
