The Cruel Light Of Day

"The Cruel Light of Day"

There is a soul-scorching heat
that lies deep within your eyes.
It sears across my fevered skin,
a moment ripe with unspoken sighs.

Electricity charges the air
every time I think of you.
My thoughts begin to wonder
about the things that we could do.

Wanting to know, and to taste,
and to touch.
The anticipation just might kill me
because the intensity is such,

That I can't seem to catch my breath,
as your scent haunts my mind.
It's slowly driving me mad
'til all that's left to find,

Are shadowy echoes of you
that linger long after midnight.
They leave me tossing and turning,
long after Dawn's breaking light.

Waking in the morning's glow,
I reach for you across the bed.
But once again I must realize.....
You live only in my head.
