Come Back

How tightly
we held when there was no one saying
Come back
We did not tell you you could run
Listen
You've got to let go what it means to
Take on
This look of angry haunt contempt

Then a breath of hush and momentary
Dimming of the searching flares
Grounding real and solitary
Catch your eyes
Chasing on behind you
Unawares

Line break
Rules we never had agreed to
Come back
We never said that you could be
Edged
Drink the polish that will take off
Burning
Passion that may burn it all down


Drown me in a cashmere sigh
tinged with sharpness of remain alive
Velvet grip around my heart
Encompass all that is me

It's you

Pack break
Look aside but never back to
Come back
They never said that we could be

They never said anything
They never said anything
They never said anything
