TWILIGHT

Listening to "Corcovado"
While drinking tea
Try to drift into
That warm, narcotic sea

This day has been depressing
Taking strength beyond my will
Not to drink
I've been trying different techniques
To change the way I think

No sense in her calling me again
What more is there to say ?
She's already said " I love you"
Twice in the last 3 days

Perhaps she'll feel alone, and
Simply want to chat
I'm all talked out, yet sometimes
I'm yearning to get back

When in my hands
I'll feel her face
Then in her eyes
I'll see me ...briefly
What my soul yearns to feel again is...
Love' Lucidity
