My One Salvation
i threw
myself into the fire
i watched myself bleed
i killed a thousand
and then some more
just to staunch the need
i can't stop this aching
this twisting pain inside
i want to retch
i need to puke
and dispel this virus
that's eating me alive
too far away are you from me
my hands can't reach yours
poison is this thing
called separation
i don't know how to breathe
without whispering your name
calling you
seeking you
dreaming you were near
i'm suffering from this
wretched disease
there is no cure but you
yet how can you save me
from a slow and painful death
when you yourself
cannot seem to comprehend
these things i go through
it drives me nuts
how oblivious you are
that you cannot see
my advances
take my hand
while i still hold it out
before i fall apart
pull me close
squeeze me tight
whisper softly and so sweetly
i may sink so deep into a pit
but you can pull me out
say one sweet phrase
and then i'll know
i'll crawl into your arms
and kiss you soft
and then there'll be no more
no more hate
no more pain
only this overflow of love
you'll be mine
and i yours
just tell me
"i love you"
and together we'll grow old
