You have my name
Now it's insane
You have stole my heart
In my mind
I fantasize
I hear you voice
Whispered I love yous
The silky caress of your lips
Tingling skin
These things within
Beating in my breast
Giving me no rest
In my dreams
I can see
You eyes
Boring into mine
Into my soul
Past the hole
Deep into the shadows
Where even I don't know
What there I have kept hidden
Perhaps a fountain of love
Of passion
That quenches thirst unbidden
Then I wake
In lonely bed
In this room
More like a prison
I close my eyes
So I won't cry
Tears that only serve as reminders
When perhaps
Life to me was kinder
Me bed is cold and empty
My room is dark and chill
And all I'm really looking for
Something this void to fill
Beating beating I hear my heart
And it beats alone
Shivering I pull tight the quilt
Wanting you to share my home
