Wordless

Feel my heart beat...I'm alive
Breathing silently as i sit next to you
Turning away from the day, falling into the night
Lying next to you silent...

A thousand thoughts race across my mind, yet i lay unmoving
To trust: is to tear away the armor that i wear
To be naked...
Scars of a tormented past revealed for you to see
Yet i lay there reticent looking into your eyes...

Words do not come, my voice finds no ears
Soundless breathing, wordless courage chasing away my fears
My mind stops suddenly....
" I love you" the words escape my parted lips
Floating through the air like a feather caught in the wind
Swirling, tugging, going wherever the wind will take it....
