I've closed my eyes so that
You won't see me
How it would hurt you had you seen me weep.
If wishes were kisses
I wouldn't miss you so much
But my kiss is amiss,
And my wishes mislead.
My ankles are shackled
By a daisy chain
Else br climbing the walls
For a taste of the rain
From here I watch you walk past
Slowly, so slowly, not fast
For if fast past me you walked,
My mask wouldn't cover my heart.
Corrupted with tears, my fears, and
Too many years
Of your image.
My mirage, you dreamwork the
Chains that hold me down.
My jailor, you are my release
If it please you, release me
For you threaten to freeze me
Here, in your arms, in my dreams
I scream with my eyes closed
So that you cannot see me weep
For my missing kisses and my mislead wishes.
