As I wait for you hidden by shadows of night The panic I feel is so taunting I glimpse at the moonlight up through the trees, And its vaporous tidings are haunting Why must we meet in the smallest of hours When no one can see or ever protest At the time of the night when my fear devours The calm and composure I always possess I fear I’ll lose my balance and fall into a deep hollow That you will never find me seizes me with dread For where I go you never follow And on my footprints you never tread I hear the leaves rustle with your tentative stride I’m frozen in place as my heart starts to race My terror is boundless and fails to subside Until the moon shines its light on your face These trysts that you insist upon always feel coerced You succeed to take away my soul from me I feel like part of me is cursed And the peace I seek will never be Discreetly you kiss me without coming too close, If your hand touched mine some pact might break As I struggle to hold you, you seem so morose Until I agree to let go for your sake The air around me is bracingly cold The chill in your heart is equally bitter What could I have done to be gripped in this hold And cause my whole soul to embitter You stay only a moment, I think it a dream I try to contain the anguish I feel As I sit on the rocks at the edge of the stream I grasp for a way to make it all real |
