The fallen leaves and tears That have come at this time of year Have been beautiful, though some painful They speak of change, I hold them near
I told you that I’d go away Not tomorrow or next week, but today Not forever, only for a while and in physical form But it seems now that it is you who couldn’t stay
I hung on every word you said Sent you something on which to rest your head When you can’t sleep (often) and all seems bleak I worry when I don’t hear from you that you’re dead
You want to make sure I can survive Without you, and that in fact I thrive Sadness hangs in a haze during this settling phase And yet I continue to be alive
When will I see you again? Can I still call you my friend? I care about you, I love you still And I know that this will never end.
One night by chance, a meeting in the dark External beauty caught my eye, glimmering soul caught my heart We walked by the overpass, jumped and then laughed “Where do I live again?” Hardly felt time pass
I started to get nervous and you soothed my anxious soul Your kindness always shone so bright, whilst life took its toll I love the way you held me, would give anything to hear your tone So gentle in your subtle ways, the way you made me moan
I don’t know what we talked about then Or in the days to come Our bodies communicated for us some of the time And fuck me, that was fun
The nurse asked if I was being abused My neck so beautifully bruised From the touch of your lips on my neck and my clit Her concern had me highly amused
Souls entwined by similar minds Dance through the depth of your knowing eyes When I think of your suffering, I feel pain too It starts small, but ascends to the sky
It stings and burns, it makes me yearn For the softness of your skin, you’re truly my kin Not everyone knows, the heaviness of the woes That we weather my love I carry your heart
I knew something was wrong as the silence grew long And I thought of your dark despair But you found me again and I found you, my friend You brought new life, like first Autumn’s air
So when sometimes we speak, my solace peaks Cos I know you’ve been going through hell But if you’re able to write, then maybe some of your plight Has dropped off, like coins down a well
I can never fully know you, you can never know me Can never fully understand the inner turmoil of the other But you helped me just by being you If you could let me in I’d strive all hours of the day too To help you to uncover
Your inner world is rich, I want to bathe in it Have so much love for you, not only when we were lovers When I hear you call, my heart stands proud and tall You’ve really helped me to recover
So when all’s said and done, we had such fun Then life pulled us in separate ways But I feel you, I see you, you’re in my dreams Love you always, til the end of our days
Fellow human, I love you so Not in a weird way but you should know Because it’s hard to connect in this life I find comfort in knowing you know my darker side And you value my struggles and strife
One day I’ll astral project all the way to Birkenhead Our souls will embrace in the dead of night I’ll hold yours, you’ll hold mine and if we fuck then that’s fine But we don’t have to, it’s enough to hold you in my sight
