Press your fingers on the wound
We can’t
We can’t allow the blood
To leak away–this is too soon
A love no memory can fill
Breathe again–you cannot stop
I want
I need your eyes to move
Do not succumb collapse and swoon
These gashes surely have to heal
Take my hand–you must respond
I won’t
I cannot leave you now
If only just an utterance
Bestow a sound upon my ears
Look within these pleading eyes
We were
We are the stronger sort
No matter how our heart is hurt
The pain reminds us it is there
Oh, agony has pricked
Into the depths of what I hoped
But still the battle rages deep
Beneath the skin of my desire
Oh, the beauty we inflict
Upon a world that never knew
Has been distorted into blame
To feed the embers of our fire
Oh, you know I’d give the last
Of every breath I’ve yet to take
To pull you safely from the fray
Into the circle of my heart
Oh, you cannot slip away
Beneath the torrent of this pain
There is so much for which to stay
And I am not retreating yet
