Innocence

Wise men said

To follow one's heart.

Mine leads to you

You are like the broad daylight;

Like a warm blanket in a cold night;

Like the rustle of leaves that gives me peace

Yearning for you has become a habit

But you're always ahead of me,

Though I try so hard to bring you back with me.

I wait for you to return everyday,

sometimes afraid you never might.

But I know you will, someday. Someday

My wounds and memories of you are fresh

They remind me of my darkest nightmares

Here I am, please free my soul from this rotting flesh

You're my heart, you're my soul.

I can't wait anymore. Fill this void sucking me from within

Turn around and come with me

I need you: the you inside of me.
