Your Patience and Understanding

for you to satiate me
i only need the silence

speaking destroys the
taste of desire

i do not need words
i do not need to know

we are here to feel and
perhaps for you to sacrifice your being

i do not invade into your domain
not even in the kingdom of your stare

i am here only to be here
i do not speak a word neither do i entertain a thought

you are here as a blooming flower
i am autumn.

we belong to different worlds
our situations clash

there is no need to fight
what is needed is just being beside you

the night has been unusually cold
and i am a very heavy and dark cloud

my being does not rapture
it wakes up from deep sleep without a capture

you shall never understand
how twisted has love become.
