Quiet Words

Quiet now cause he sleeps

deep

in another world

like the one I reach for

when i reach for him

but I sense

with bitter intuition

he craves distance

I lay low reminiscent

of a lonely girl

who craves attention

he never speaks but I always listen

he never smiles but I never miss it

I  taste the hard honey in his eyes

reflecting the hard honey in his life

she  seems to be

just within his reach

...not right now, but please don't leave...

I lay in silence

and break at the weight of this day

I miss his mouth, but remember his words

I miss the taste, but tremble with hurt

Yes, I miss his mouth, but its always been hers

I understand his tears

they resemble my own

we hold hands

but we both know we're alone

we both know but its so

heavy every day

I hurt to know he hurts like this

he's far away

but i can hear the sadness in his voice

I hate every day

I can't change the sadness in his voice

this is love i guess

I can't sleep cause i can't see him smile

I just wanna stay awhile

and lay with him

feel the heat of him

it hurts... needing him

when he needs his space

we walk side by side

while our minds reside in a separate place

quiet now as I  leave cause he needs this sleep

and I know how he aches for peace

and I can't bring myself to be

without what he does for me

so instead of walking away

I walk myself out

I let him sleep 

cause I know what his hurts about
