Don't Turn Away


Don't turn away now

Let me touch you

As I lie, wrapped in

The warmth of your body.

I need to touch softly

Your soft blanket of skin

I need to know

That we're both alive.

I want to feel your breath,

Your heartbeat, to try

To guess the mystery of life.


Your heart beats in rhythm

As each second of our lives.

We are suspended in time

Until the day we fall

Into the darkness below.


Don't turn away now

Let me touch you

I need to feel the warmth

Of the candle burning in you.

I need to feel,

If only for a moment,

That we will live forever.


Let me touch you

Let me feel your life...

Before our candles grow dim

Flicker

And nothing is left

But nothing.
