Bent Words

July 22, 2004

Give me the tears, allow my desperation to sink into grief

Bring me to the utmost apogee and bring me back to relief

Answer this question and find for me the truth

That I can, someday, find me wrapped up all at once in you

Teach me no distance, allocate me no

pride

Renege my plead no more and take me inside

How pale, my breath

How inadequate, my depth

And there IS so much that you do not know

I fear the same feelings that you cannot show

Never have I seen these majestic lights

dim

Never have I, before now, felt so lost from him...
