edging

time passes while dreams tend to fade
lost in fake ecstasy, in images forbade
swallow your hope, forbid your greed,
widen your scope, allow me to feed -
on your joy, your failures, your tenacity
your lips, your eyes, your fragrant phallacy
for days mix with night, as they often do
i'm lost in my slights, my broken stew
surrounded by people who yell when i walk through the door
i can't possibly quell the selfish wanting for more
so i sink in my pages, i swallow the need
to feel you, to see you, i only bleed
the distance won't hurt, it's safer this way
to accompany your thoughts, get lost in the day
work through the hurt, i now must stay
so to bathe in that light, to soak in your rays
what i mean is: i'm lonely
here, waiting for you
my attempts too cowardly
but this is nothing new.
soon, seasons will change
we're moving so fast
i've discovered your range
but i'm having a blast
