Final Moments of Love Nothing more can be said Or done So you just quietly walk away As I watch your silhouette pass out of existence A whisper of night-wind like a cold death moves over me Suspended slowly and forever over my shattered soul In these final moments of Love All expression is squeezed out of me and I'm rigid with fury Your dangling lies tremble around me Dark was as dark is An anatomy of misgivings My spirit devours the remnants of your deceptions With a subtle gray suffering scarcely perceivable in shadows After so much strife So much anger So much grief So much passion drained from my heart I still don't know how I can just stop loving you I need you to adore me And take away the shallowness of my past To share my self-imposed delirium and Touch my desires You make me feel complete And soothe my inescapable demand for Love I despise you for that
