Need for your pain

I cry because you will not speak my name,

I die when you ignore me today.

I whisper so I do not disturb you,

I wait for you tonight my love.

You know your name is my solace,

you see I am still your own.

The very way you control me,

is why I am now so alone.

Why must this be the way it is,

who are you if not my love?

I love you before I am living,

I need you like I need the air.

Waiting I do to hear your voice,

again as the night steals the day.

My hands are ready to take you,

my heart is willing to die.
