in the shadow of doubt

 
I'm hurting...
 
I don't want to cause you ache
it may have been unintended but still, our souls became tangled in love
I pull away and I fall into a depth of despair thus not felt
I draw closer and I doubt, then weep bitter tears
 
I want to know you, the reality of you
I've felt you so deeply within my inner sanctum
you are a part of me now
wrapped up in throes of passion
but I struggle with love
 
I will giggle when I'm unsure
so much a woman and so much like a little girl
I am immortal how is that you've touch me there
deep in my regrets bringing beauty from pain
 
I sigh in my soul for your tears
I taste salty need
I frustrate you
I raise your ire
I feel I don't have enough lifetimes to explain
the ways I love you
 
tender to the touch you shy from me
I come into the darkness where you are
finding the broken pieces of me the rest of the world discarded,
bound to your soul
 
it's not enough I ache
it's not enough I hurt
you chase the shadows from my soul
and found the woman I am
singing to your song
walking to your drum
