Whisper--Black Series

The Night Air

That always surrounds us

Even when it's day

Smells of you.

I close my eyes

& feel another tear

Trickle down

Soft against my cheek.

You ask me why I cry

But I only hear this 

In my mind

But your voice echos in my ears.

You know why

Your touch says

Brushes against my skin

On fire.

I look up

& see in you 

The Light 

That shadows my Soul.

I close my eyes again

Tight

So I can hide from you
But you won't let me go.

I see you there
In my Mind's Eye
When I think I've lost you
You find me.

Opening my eyes
I feel you here
Inside me 
In the Places even I don't like to go.

Your face next to me
Breath in my hair
Fingers digging 
Into my skin.

And you whisper
Once again
I'll never let you go.
