Lovers in the dark

 

I'm not innocent..
But who am I to trust?

I'm dead inside
still alive...
enough to touch you

Cast away, my solitude
has been my curse
Damned to love in shadows

I hide my face
It's the only way
I know how to reach you

When I can't reach myself
I don't recognize the truth
with my reflection staring
back at me

Somehow you still see me
In the darkness
When I can't see myself

I take in your breath of life
to taste the essence of hope
at the thought of your kiss
why am I trying?

Because I'm dead inside
but I'm alive enough to sense you
Why are you hiding?

The light hides your face from my sight
but I feel your eyes burn against my skin
like a scorch of rays bleeding through
these clouds that drape around my heart

Am I only breathing to suffer another day?
I'm dead inside
Alive enough to feel you

Closing in on me

It's leaving me to wonder..

can we be lovers in the dark?
