closer...
darkness was falling and you were so close
i looked in your eyes - but all i saw was smoke
your lips were moving - but no words could i hear
my heart was breaking and my head felt cloaked
i looked past your shoulder and as i silently wept
your indifference was chilling, no charity left
as sun filtered through blinds - pulled shut for a reason
i remembered a time when your words were more pleasing
closer - closer - closer still
i need the contact – but you’re nowhere near
the sound you make is like a tingling in my ears
i look at you intently but you are just clear
why do i think of you - when you consider me no longer?
and if reality bites - why do dreams bite harder?
restless, yet weary and tired of the game
my thoughts always come back and are always the same
closer - closer - closer still
i’m in need of contact but you aren’t here
i cry out loud - but there is only chill
i look at you but see only my fear
