• Today my love, it’s you
    The pull on my mind,
    The cause of my stare
    The light in my eyes

    The day wastes away
    Following the shadow
    Of so many before
    Forming this blur that clouds my senses

    My blankets are your arms
    My sustenance your words
    My song your voice
    My dream your face
    Though its truth lies unknown

    Do you feel the river
    Flowing without a source
    Do you feel the quake
    Separate from the rocking of the earth
    Do you feel the fire
    Which burns without fuel
    Do you feel the drain,
    Which penetrates my hard shell
    Devouring my fighting spirit

    The wait weights
    The past presses
    The mystery masters
    The need gnaws

    Sleep fails to renew
    Bread fails to fill
    Laughs fail to lift the soul
    Herbs fail to heal
    The ache that is a parasite, despair
    Unnaturally strengthened by the passing of time
