lyrics

A Valentine’s Letter

Remind me, if you would
How this all embracing hollowness
Is wrapped up one day
With light tremors of bitter hours
Gone for wanting you
And seeing with my heart again
If silence nested well within
Should somehow color what I say
Remember how I feel
And show me how I felt
How I felt
Shorten the distance
Between the "I" in "myself"
And a solitude
That loves the sound
Of its own voice
As it echoes
Through chambers
Full of isolation and flavors of fear
(Flavors of fear)
That run on my tongue
Damp and numb
Like fingers in surgery
Or sugar in drug dreams
In sex dreams
Where I find myself
Inhaling you
One day
If I grow not just older
I may sing
These words
Like healing
And as summers after fall
(Summers after fall)
As silver on my wedding ring
As dreaming would be bound
Not only to find you
But to be found
