I Want You

Like last night

I want your breath

On my skin.

I want you to want me

Only me

All night.

I want to find you

In the deepest recesses

Of my mind

And body.

Traces of you

In places hidden

Within me.

What Did You Find?

One phone call and it was over

Everything we planned for

A lie.

A few words and we were through

Your mumbling

We die.

 

What did you find in the meantime?

A woman without a storm?

Did you realize you liked to be single?

Don’t you ever want to be warm?

 

Did you find a  woman that will please you?

What did you find in this world?

While I was busily planning our lives

You were making sure we unfurled.

 

What did you find my secret?

Hidden in the corner with dust?

Did you find her because of her beauty

Or was this just a small case of lust?

 

The thing about you kind of men

Is from her, you will ultimately flee

You may find all the women you like

But you will never, ever find me.

Where Are You?

I’ve been in solitude for so long

I no longer whisper at night for you.

Haven’t thought of you in so long

I have forgotten what I had hoped you would sound like.

Where are your eyes?

I need them to find me.

Where is your breath?

I need you to come take mine away.

 

I don’t know who

Or where

You are.
