My eyes are locked in a gaze
of longing affection...

The moment of truth has arrived
my fingers tremble in anticipation...

I'm screaming and screaming
loud screeching nails of fire...

"Don't leave me..."
His small hand tightens its grip...

You are but a breath away
yet my fingers can't seem to stretch...

You're falling in love with the wrong words
like a young bird trying to take flight...

I was lost in a sea of misery
you were my light house of hope...

Screaming, swearing, insulting
name calling, bashing, fighting...

Such a vibrant woman
so full of potential...

Do you hear that?
that sober humming...

One night of passion
lead to this...

Beating of your heart is faint
but it seems to have filled the air...
