For Patty--April 18, 2003
You step away
Just out of sight
Or a million steps
It makes little difference to me
My heart pulls loose the strings
Screams against my weakness
My prison, my home
I'm engulfed in the harsh words
That spirited you away
I can't pull chords from air
The distortions of a heart
Apologies to the dead air
I tell you now, in my shadows
Forgive this frail, weak soul
All my love means nothing
If I rob the love from you
Even as I scream, I cry, I die inside
Flail against, then so often surrender
To the torments of my captor
I hold you in my heart, so tight
My true love, my heart-locked prisoner
Don't step away
