A Way Back

Tom, would you let me wake up

in your dream?

Will you make all my fears

fall silent?

I wish I could hear

your whisper kissing

my impatient skin.

I know

that you are too lonely,

too distant to understand

the meaning of

virgin, fulfilled passion.

Tom, I want to dedicate

my body to you,

so that your whisper can creep into

its nooks and crannies.

I try to give

this scared, wronged heart

a name, but your tears

are empty.

Stars, sown by your fragile hand,

watch over my melancholy,

take care of

the nostalgia

you hide in your own shadow.

Tom,

I know you're still looking for

a way back.

Tears shine so brightly…

Please, give me senses

for once, open your suffering to me.

Tom, trust in my arms.

I want to teach you humility,

sadness and loneliness

before you shed one tear

too many.
