A room full of
mirrors
And I see you
Everywhere
A whisper of my
name, amplified
And I hear you
Everywhere
A brief caress of my
face
And I feel you
Everywhere
The slightest of all
kisses
And I taste you
Everywhere
A slight breeze
carries your scent
And I smell you
Everywhere
I have thought of
moments like this
Begged for them
Cried to God for
them until all that comes out is a pathetic whimper
And now you are
everywhere
And I am beyond
grateful
Beyond happy
Beyond satisfied
My senses converge
and everything is you
I breathe in and out
And steel myself to
give you everything
I reach out a hand
to begin my proclamation
But you can see it
my eyes
And I know
Because I can see it
in yours
And as we drift
together to make things complete
I open my eyes into
darkness
A fan blowing my
loneliness over me in waves
Twisted covers
surround me
As I float on my
pillow top mattress, alone
And tears full of
salt and anguish join my pillow
Because I know that
I just had you
The only way I could
The way I've had you
for so long
And all I can see,
hear, feel, taste, smell
Is the acute
emptiness
That always follows
these dreams
As my heart slows
its rapid beating
I silently implore
every power known to man
For these false,
faint rendezvous to end
So I can let you go
So I can be happy
again
The energy put into
these desperate pleas
Is more than I can
bear
And so I let myself
fall back
Into a familiar
darkness
A restless and
unfulfilling slumber
Knowing that the
next night will be the same
And a small part of
me welcomes it
Because if I can
only have you in my dreams
I'll gladly sleep
forever
