I teeter on the edge,
Afraid to fall in.
Walls close in,
Close in...
I wait for your answer,
Your breathless pledge.
Mind rushing to catch
Hopeless drive.
Maybe I’ll be cured,
In a week or a year -
Nothing’s for sure,
But I am now here.
Waiting...
For your simple, simple break.
I must extract the essence of your pain,
I must distract you from my very real gain.
I can’t give you peace,
I can’t give you love,
I can’t even hope to cure you of the wrath.
I feel so alone, inches within your grasp...
I am burning for your eyes.
I am here, I am real and I am absolutely unprepared...
***
I am suddenly feared, I am suddenly strong,
Warmer than blood in your veins.
And you, my dear, will pay for this in full
