FOR YOU...

What Took You So Long.

When the world is quiet,
I hear you.
Barely vibrating the dark cold
Afar yet too familiar
Attune yet sounds distorted
Voice that calls me in my sleep
Haunts every awaking hours
Is that you,
Echoing from every angle of my beat?

When the lights are dimmed,
I see you.
Bodied by nothing but my thoughts
As glaring as a torch
Atone with the feeling we share
The pale hand touches my cheek
Hinting me to shiver no more
Is that you,
Evicting the pain and isolating my fear?

When the Gods are asleep,
I sense you.
Broad shoulders moving in the rain
Approaching mine, soundless
Alone but yet together
The shackles breaking looser
Hell can no longer freeze me
Is that you,
Embracing me as I blind myself from the rest?

When the worlds are asleep,
When the lights are dimmed,
When the Gods are asleep,
I’ll have you.
