Maggie's Heart

Walls
To well you understand
All the words I say
But will you be the one to choose
To hear them every day
You listen to my quiet voice
Caress and stroke my mind
Seduce me with your tender hands
Kill me with your eyes
Saturate me with your tears
Bathe me in your soul
Cloak me in the light
That is you
Within me, you I hold
Every night, beneath the moon
Trace your eyelids with my lips
Enlighten with our fingers
Whatever you are
Whatever you were
My desperation lingers
It sweeps me to the very edge
Blinded by hot stuborn tears
I find I'm reclaimed by your sanity
I fear I can not love you
I fear I can, but won't
I fear a life-long regret
If by my walls I don't!
Then
You had a crush on me.
Then you were my tolerated acquaintance
Then you were my friend
Then my best friend
Then my boyfriend
Then my ex
Then my abstact world
Then an unattainable dream
Then attained at last
And then you were gone
Now I'm numb.
Tide
The candle flames dance
The radio plays
The lights are to bright
The nights are not days
I have only my smile
I've cried all my tears
My love is not love but
My fears are just fears
I watch a crimson candle burn
The wax runs down the side
Overwhelmed by the ocean of you
You swallow me in your tide!
Night
Sometimes, as I close my eyes to sleep
I'm there again and so is he
in my dream I open my eyesand its only you and me
My clothes are intact and you hold me gently
I'm cradled in your arms
Your kissing and gently strokeing my hair
This time I'm safe, its only us there
The air dosn't smell of alcohol and my arms aren't pinned to the floor
I feel warm and calm and you don't hold my down
This time I don't feel disoriented and paralyzed with fear
If only it had been you
I might be O.K.
Then maybe I could sleep at night!
