Nightingale

The possibility is what kills me

I can't let go alone and letting go together would devour me

I'm dying to be alive

Lying next to your warmth I can hear the soothing sound of your voice

Each time we're together I ease into you a little more

For the first time, I didn't dance around the questions

I try to live in that moment everyday

When I close my eyes I see your eyes

When my body hits the mattress I envision the nights spent together

And as we descend into the soft bed sheets,

Being directed by feeling and thought alone,

I wonder if this will be the last time I will be here with you this way again

The sliver of hope numbs me through my torture

Silent conversations with myself

You get me through all the yesterdays

We become electric in the darkness

I can't stop and you wont stop

We need to need this for the both of us

With everyone telling me what to do and no one to love me

I escape into the thought of you

A functioning sleepless void

Never knowing what might happen and never knowing when it will end

Oh Nightingale the morning crept up too soon
