Staring out into the night,
Wanting the darkness to swallow me whole,
The shadows to eat me alive,
Wondering if I'll have to crawl to the moon,
Just to feel the warmth of her love,
To touch the beauty of her face,
To become the light in her eyes.
Gazing out into the water,
Wanting to walk into her arms,
The waves consuming all that I am,
Never returning to this Hell,
Wondering if I'll have to lie on the floor of the ocean,
Just to be lost in her embrace,
To taste the wounds of her soul,
To heal the ache in her heart.
Standing out on this ledge,
Wanting to fall from its stability,
The wind to carry me to the ends of the earth,
Finally rising above this madness,
Wondering if I'll have to come crashing to the ground,
Just to hear the words she spoke only for me,
To remember how it felt to make love to her,
To make her want me again...
Sitting alone on the snowy ground,
Wanting to sink beneath its comfort,
The ice to numb the emotions inside,
Cool this burning desire,
Wondering if I'll have to fade to the next lifetime,
Just spend my life dreaming beside her,
To be the one who makes her happy,
To die wrapped in her arms...
