Somewhere inside me

You can hide me away so I won’t wake,
Let me submerge in the still agony.
Deeper and deeper. I am losing it.
Drowned in the muffled sounds of words I can’t utter.

Nobody pays attention. Nobody is here,
Still, I picture you in the dreams that fade.
Your breath lingers, soft and strange,
A remenant of fire that I’ll always cherish.

Gradually you left, slipping through my fingers,
A silhouette drowning in crimson paint.
Like our own darkly smudged painting
Let me hear your heart, you can tell me anytime.

All of my eternity that I want to keep
something inside me
Starry night, into the light you leaned on
The moment I cleared away the darkness and reached you
Just held in my arms, you can hold your breath

Even if my heart races
Even if I look somewhere else, I think of you
Stay inside me, you can close your eyes
Even if you can’t see it
Even if you don’t feel it, you can lean on me.
Bearing away. You’re still here,
Somewhere in me awaiting, concealed in hurt.
