Two Way Mirror

 
My heart craves and it is denied...  
 
Needful expression, I keen  
it hurts to be this vulnerable  
in the dark trembling for your touch  
Sacred obsession, starved for affection  
grievous error in my explanation  
 
I see your hurt  
it is as my own  
 
will you let me touch you there?  
 
I move through time finding you anew  
confessions of a torrid sort burn my lips  
passing fascinations fail in the moment  
Shaking off yesterdays  
seeking tomorrow's sunlight  
 
then fade to black as you turn back  
retreating in the shadows  
leaving me tongue tied  
with my ego bruised and bleeding  
 
I curse the loneliness that makes me helpless  
pick up my heart and walk on  
 
Into the dark and empty day
