Shift
Out of sync
Out of touch
Out of temper
Out of time.
Waiting
Always waiting...
What is it I could do
To make myself as interesting
As all the things you don't really care about?
Have to fill the void
The silence
The lack of satisfaction
That comes from your lack of attention.
Have to fill the spaces in between.
But then you wonder,
And you wait...
Both waiting for that touch,
That awakening,
That peace that comes
From the silence
Of our hands
Speaking to our skin
As they trace familiar trails
That would never be
Just a memory.
I NEED you.
Only you.
Your time
Your touch
Your attention
(and not your paying attention
to someone else
paying attention...)
I don't need this emptiness.
I already feel it
In the silence
That lies
Between the waiting.
Waiting for your touch
For your time
For your love.
For us to fall into sync again.
Out of touch
Out of temper
Out of time.
Waiting
Always waiting...
What is it I could do
To make myself as interesting
As all the things you don't really care about?
Have to fill the void
The silence
The lack of satisfaction
That comes from your lack of attention.
Have to fill the spaces in between.
But then you wonder,
And you wait...
Both waiting for that touch,
That awakening,
That peace that comes
From the silence
Of our hands
Speaking to our skin
As they trace familiar trails
That would never be
Just a memory.
I NEED you.
Only you.
Your time
Your touch
Your attention
(and not your paying attention
to someone else

I don't need this emptiness.
I already feel it
In the silence
That lies
Between the waiting.
Waiting for your touch
For your time
For your love.
For us to fall into sync again.
