Come back to me

My memories told me
In a dream once
That you’ve spent a quiet night in our past
A past still bleeding with questions
The answers too often ignored
… my torture.

I let the stars
Witness the honesty
I am true to the lie
That I’ll never be …
I’ll take a breath
To breathe you into me
I won’t ever let it go
‘til you come back to me

I lied when you asked me what I wanted
A fateful blow to my own heart
I didn’t know
A tap on the shoulder just a shadow
Delusions far too much to bear upon you

I let the stars
Witness the honesty
I am true to the lie
That I’ll never be …
I’ll take a breath
To breathe you into me
I won’t ever let it go
‘til you come back to me
