My Dead Language

I am reserved for the man

I am reserved for the man

Running through my dreams

Showering me with kisses

Loving that part of me that beams

Lately, I’ve given you away over and over

His laughing, only a bit distracting

What time of day

Will it be when you are aware

Of the damaged you’ve caused

Or the silence you bear

So what’s beside you weary winter rain

Showering you, devouring me

Riding to earth from the heavens

Yet not in my dreams

Have I glimpsed a sight

Not looking to fall

And I’m apart at the seams.
