beauty dear soul

 
would you know me if I stood before you wearing nothing but a blush?

my soul so unique in its love of you
it reaches to touch you where you are
my mind aches with the truth of knowing,
I long for you in the midnight void
where I am just a woman alone in the dark with my thoughts of you
soul coupling in the depths
becoming more who I am and less than what I portray

I really didn't think anyone was paying attention
I wrote like no one listened, not really
but you did, didn't you?

I wrote to your silence
calm in your presence
I worried when my sanity waned that you left because of me
so fed up with my nonsense you walked out

I was really lost you know?

it hurt to think of you as missing
you were the one face I wanted to see when the fog cleared

will you know me if I caress your darkness
and swallow your loneliness?

if I made it my own
could you really love me, still, inside the madness?
