::Your Mind::

Lack of wholeness
At the bottom I linger
Waiting to be disposed
Waiting to be exposed
Out of secret thoughts
That belong to you
I slide down from the sides
Of your mind that keeps me
Locked in a room in waiting
To be freed or transferred
To an accomodation more suiting
Comforting for us both
Your test I cannot bear
For I am too stubborn to pass
Stop opening the door ajar
Only to quickly shut it
When you see me run for
An escape to let everyone know
Where we are, or how we stand
Hoping we stand at all
I am no other than one
Who carries this torch
Will you help me
Stand by my side
When it burdens me
Yake up the slack
Just as I will do the same for you
But I still remain hidden
From your words vital
Left wondering
How many beats remain
Of this heart before pain
Can bleed away through my tears
A release I yearn to feel
Only you determine my future
You know not which day
I'll wait behind your door ajar
To pull you to me
Hold you close, and never let go
Show you my heart
Am I in yours?
