Touch, #14

Soothe my mind
make it clear
kiss my eyes
they'll shed the fear
of each moment
you're not near.
Touch my lips
that taste a tear
gently falling
as you steer
all my sorrow
from the years

before you touched
the walls so deep
of all the pain we try to keep
so tightly buried
that we weep
when sins imagined
start to seep
upon the mirror
that we keep
to look so falsely
on the sleep
of tender moments
that we reap

to hoard against
the demon's leap
upon the love
we yearn to heap
upon the soul
that gently weeps
for every pain
we dare not reach
from such sad lessons
we impeach
of all the memories
childhood can teach.
