Hear Me

by Void   Sep 12, 2006


(Still working on a better title. What's your thoughts on this one?)

"Good morning my love"
I'll whisper to you,
"How are you feeling?
Did you sleep well too?
Open those eyes, that make sunshine break the day.
And this time, hold a smile that will not fade away."

Everything is back, behind those frozen lips.
Until the wound inside you... rips.
Your heart is being emptied,
sliding down your cheeks
I'll try to kiss you better,
But my love, why do you not speak?

Get up to have your shower,
Pick out your best clothes to wear.
Searching through the dresser drawers,
That you and I still share.
Come across my clothing,
A tie lay in your hand.
I try to catch you falling,
Where you no longer stand.
I wrap my arms around you,
Tell you not to weep.
And yet, I feel, not
The warmth that I must keep.

I'll hold you ever tighter, still.
Remembering what's wrong.
You were like this not so long ago,
Singing sorrow's song.

Your shadow stretched beside us,
It wonders where mine went.
Then on your lap, the paper sit:
Records of my life... spent.

Drinking and driving, it says on the sheet.
Speeding, with another, in the passanger seat.
Three injured, two killed,
All from a glass, that shouldn't have been filled.

I tell you I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go away.
I tell you that my love for you, is always here to stay.
"Please reply to me my darling, tell me that you hear!''
But when you stand, you cannot see, my reflection in the mirror.

Painting false colour, onto your skin.
That steady hand growing thin.
To think you've got to do this alone again tomorrow,
Still you smile, with happiness you can only borrow.

If my heart still beat, it would be pacing faster now;
As I watch your strength shine, alongside the beauty you endow.
Butterflies would soar, because I swear I'm in your sights,
When you breathe into the air, ''Do I look alright?''

To know that I, think this question so obsurd.
I'll gaze, at your tear stained eyes,
but will not say a word.

    I like the title btw, and it was very deep, it made me reread it, to look beyond what it said. It was very touching, i agree. Keep up the great work!
