ripped and burdened

thoughts scattered

something woke me up in the middle of the night

sleep betrayed me as if it were never mine

I woke up as if you whispered in my ears

I could feel the yearning in your voice

My name was on your lips

knocked me out of my sleep

my eyes filled with tears as if I was hurt

I swallowed the bitter truth

holding my breath

for a second I thought I was gone with the wind

yet you held me closer

I could feel the pull in your soul

it is the only thing that burns in my heart

that keeps the thirst alive

the desire to be in you keeps me churning my days.

the desire keeps me immortal

I shed the fears and walked away from the lie I lived.
