Don’t
say
the words.
Shut your mouth.
Don’t
part
your lips,
utter another phrase.
You
drive
me
insane
with every syllable.
Just
sit
in silence.
Let’s listen to
the blood
flow
in our veins.
The sounds
of our hearts
beating
might
just
drive
us
mad.
Too bad
we’re already there.
Just
the
sound
of your breathing
is a siren
calling me
out
into
the ocean,
far off shore.
I’m
drowning
in
you
now.
I
can
feel
heat
from your skin
so
pleasantly
warm.
We won’t even
touch,
but this
moment
is
inviting me
to lose
myself
in another.
Oh,
my
God.
You are something
I
can’t
explain.
This
is
as
if
I could read
your
mind.
I know that’s
so
insane,
but I hear
your
voice
in
mine,
telling me it’s alright.
It’s never been alright.
You are such a perfect lie.
I believe you every time.
Hush,
don’t
speak.
This is all
just
a
dream.
I
see.
Say the words
and
I
will
wake.
Lost and lonely;
my
mistake
was wanting
to
hear
those
words.
I had everything,
now
it
fades.
Like paper
in
a
flame.
