Living, learning, listening
Open eyes now glistening
Venom seeped into my heart
Ending that which wouldn't start
Soothing dreams of impossible
Over-zealous romanticism
Feelings spark from scent and sound
Touch awakens my hidden soul
Loneliness crawls in to wail
Your perfect face deflects my stare
Falling down stings and alarms
Ailing spirit numbs the mind
Dying whim of tender existence
Everything slows to a heartbeat in time
Stop the show - close the curtains tonight
