It slips away
The coil around my wrists
The rope around my neck
The leash upon my tongue
In your gaze, it vanishes
In your touch it melts
In your voice it fades
And fate can follow me
It can push me into the gates of oblivion
It cannot hurt me anymore
For I know you
And you are everything
The world is but a bracket to hold you
The sun but a light to highlight your features
The moon but a background to see you against
The sea but a soundtrack to your existence
I have no words
No mortal tongue can convey my soul
My feeling is not a candle but an inferno that lights the world
And in every flicker of flame is you
I fear no more
I long no more
I want no more
For you are the beginning
And my end
And I can go happily with just the touch of your breath
What is there to fear when I have tasted everything upon your lips
Experienced all things upon the touch of your skin
Known all there is in your scent
When I fade, I fade with your face burnished in my eyes
And knowing all the world, will lament nothing but my distance from you
The coil around my wrists
The rope around my neck
The leash upon my tongue
In your gaze, it vanishes
In your touch it melts
In your voice it fades
And fate can follow me
It can push me into the gates of oblivion
It cannot hurt me anymore
For I know you
And you are everything
The world is but a bracket to hold you
The sun but a light to highlight your features
The moon but a background to see you against
The sea but a soundtrack to your existence
I have no words
No mortal tongue can convey my soul
My feeling is not a candle but an inferno that lights the world
And in every flicker of flame is you
I fear no more
I long no more
I want no more
For you are the beginning
And my end
And I can go happily with just the touch of your breath
What is there to fear when I have tasted everything upon your lips
Experienced all things upon the touch of your skin
Known all there is in your scent
When I fade, I fade with your face burnished in my eyes
And knowing all the world, will lament nothing but my distance from you
