YOU ACHE IN MY HEART

Yes, I know.

With eyes wide shut,

I see.

I keep this mystery

under my skin, multiplying,

blessing what is within.

I gasp for breath,

retracing your steps.

(You made a mistake)

This (un)seen beauty is without strength,

This (un)seen beauty sears my eyes.

burns my soul, tortures desire.

You rend me to tatters as I wait

for my release.

(and my release lays in youyouyouyouyou)

This cry is not known

for this room is full of you

and it is so intangible,

and it is so distant from my left hand.

My senses are sick.

Save me.

Things wither, tomorrow drives me insane.

When I touch myself, your hands are still above

my calloused heart.

Beneath the weight I bear, words

call you and stretch asunder where

your beauty lies.

You made a mistake,

(yes, I know)

and it can’t be corrected.

and it is forever.

This love aches in my heart.

You ache in my heart.

Perpetually, perpetually.

My sorrow is mine,

only mine.

Helpless planets embrace me,

my Moon still gallops to your Sun,

my Venus tangles in the sweet hands of your Mars.

And I know, yes I know

This love is sublime,

can’t be transmuted,

can’t wait anymore.

I have been torn in two

and both parts love you.

This mystery is my perfect desire,

my eyes lost in the quivering air.

Glorify me

for some minutes.

Glorify me.
