Archive for February, 1989
In a shadowed room
Candles burn
and soft music plays
I dance alone
holding the memory of you
Embracing the
Fantasy of your return
like a lover.
I am on the ragged edge
On the outside looking in
In plastic coating
wrapped in black velvet
I can see your pain
but I am helpless to save you
From the end.
I struggle in my bondage
to break the chains to save you
Cloaked in darkness
your heart in a vice
I can not breathe
Suffocating, Drowning
in
Your emotions
I am connected to you
yet am unable to break through
If I lose you to the night
my own soul is in peril
For you are a part of me
You mirror
my own confusion, frustration
we must survive
to look upon the dawn
and breathe the morning air
Free from the darkness
that now seems all consuming.
I have walked through glass
bleeding and torn I stand before you
and hold out my hand
Come to me
I offer salvation
from your pain
Give in to me
I am not a stranger to you
Look close
You’ve gazed at me
every day of your life
You’ve called to me
Pleaded with me
for answers and for light
I am you
the reflection in the mirror
You have called
and I have answered
Take my hand
and heal the wounds
I am the survivor
that is buried in your soul
Give in to me
Let loose of all
that clouds your heart
Take my hand and join with me
and together we will be free
Victim and Survivor
Once separated
Now as one
