Echo

[mayamaia]

I live fond dreams within my head
They echo round my skull
And in the moments lost in thought
I find myself just where I ought
to be - within one breath of you.

I talk and tell you what I wish
I see your eyes and feel your arms
My eyes, unclosed, yet see not where I am
But where I would be.

Sometimes, to calm my soft, sad fears,
You comfort me about my plight
But oh for all our once shared years
I cannot hear your sound advice
In this one thing I wish to know

Oh still you comfort me, you torment
Still your voice and scent and eyes
They calm my heart and calm my mind
As tears seep - silent, slow.
