Dearer the Flame

Late into night Sigh full of dreams Not nearly tucked tight Surrounded by seams Churning I'm yearning Lost amidst all of your learning Tear you apart Sleep after a start Fear far off comes softly up behind Encloses me with what I thought I left behind Sinking Chains clinking Eyes cast around for yours unblinking Sit tightly in my morning chair Uprightly I deeply breathe in the air Let you slide off of me and down stair Call to me and I'd believe Is this the locking of a door The sun dawns The blinds drawn Light fingers trace me in relief Was it still love if it was this brief Time to me feels like a thief Inside can be warm But warmth can be lonely Safe with your one and only Inside can be warm But warmth can be lonely Safe with your one and only
