Us Two in Onyx

9/22/04

Sweat drops and broken skin

That strange mix of Sleep and Tears

I haven’t touched a Dream for months,

And the worry you feel is nothing.

To reassure you, I must try

And break a silent seal

Beyond the edges of our confessions.

Swollen hearts and cold blood

Wingless angels, just us two.

Letting go of remembered agony,

Stepping off the edge of feeling,

True emotion can be attained.

Tie our wrists with barbed wire;

We are the only two who matter.
