Licheri

To look at each other

Though not eye to eye,
Yet search for the lover
Concealed in the lie.
To hide in a shadow
Escaping emotion,
Afraid of rejection,
Afraid of devotion.
To sit in the darkness
Refusing to go –
When you hear love say yes
Who are we to say no?

D

When dreaming in whispers

That shout in the mind
And mock human madness –
Will you stand by my side?

As life becomes blacker

And answers more rare
What lengths will you go to
To show that you care?

While wishing for death

While sinking through sand,
Yet not wanting to fall –
Will you hold out your hand?

When lightening strikes twice

The same star in the sky –
Would you take me home
Or just leave me to die?

In a void of existence

If living alone
Would you ever write
Or pick up the phone?

Could you be so empty

To humbly agree,
And give all you’ve got
Yet get nothing from me?
