Please

I've felt you

before I saw you

and knew you

when I met you

So close towards me

far and away

and then you are away again

The night time it sways me

envelops and betrays

what I find in the waking

between spaces I'm taking

and every breath's an effort

a wilful endeavour

to keep me from freezing

to keep me from bleeding

I find you in shadows

and down by the water

close to my windows

reflected and broken

so softly misspoken

I did not expect it

what came back reflected

In eyes so endearing

your voice I keep hearing

I'm missing the feeling

that I had you near me

so close to my heart

you could sense it beating

I miss you so dearly

But please,

don't come near me
