moments shared with strangers because we forgot how to share,moments peopled by silence
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I , I need a little interaction ,
would you like be my distraction
for a moment - sacred & true.
Would you like just some reaction
know you're special rght through.
Oh loneliness you've been my companion.
rubbing up against me when its dark
when i open my eyes.
there's noone there , only you - to my waking surprise
slurring in my sleep I know you're not enough.
only so much you can give.
but YOUR friendship helps me know why I'm still alive.
I need more than only you
so i frequent the routes with the giggling girls
hoping one might look my way
hoping that she from her path might stray
one minute longer so can ask her about her day
and then back to you on my way.
Even the ones who're not looking for the answers
can briefly play the game.
The game of intertwining hands
and reach those foreign lands
the ones we forgot when we're alone.
The silence is prone
but all I want is a break
just a moment to share ,
dont care if its real or fake
pretend that you care
and leave me with your scent
I wished that I knew where you went.
Its not so complicated
There's no commitment demonstrated
Once is enough
and after its tuff
with you ,loneliness
You never mind if I digress
constantly around
your presence with no sound
whether in public or in my room
Your safety's like a mother's womb.
Sometimes like the chill of a catacomb.
For a little respite
I perhaps might
gather up the courage to whisper words to an absolute unknown
to recall what it sounds to hear a voice on the phone
dont mind if the talk is superficial
I'll put on a happy face
and go to a gathering place
just to know what it feels like,spend way too much
having someone sit across & like your voice
remind me what it is when your hand is touched
these are the symptoms of my choice.
I'm back again.
drop my bag on the floor.
they still just point my way playing those courting games
but silence you make me want to learn their names
