The Sirens of a Silent Paradise

I walk past you and I had to put make an effort just to make you notice. You knew something was wrong. No matter how hard I try to hide everything behind my teary eyes. I can’t help it; I’m breaking down… I’m breaking down.

People always push everything around. They don’t realize that sometimes it’s the very hands that helped them they push away. And when they do realize their fault, they don’t mind… They never mind at all.

No, they don’t care about whatever I’m concerned with. And I’m breaking down…

But not all the way down.

Because you were there. And you saw me through. And at least I mattered to you.

You reached out your hand for me to hold on to.

And you walked with me until I found myself… Until I realized it was there all along. It has been there all along.

I found myself in you.

I always give everything out. I don’t realize that sometimes it’s my very heart I give away. And when I realize this, I still don’t mind… No, I won’t mind at all.

Because it means giving my heart to you.

And we break in to privacy. Where I could shout your name out and everything echoes it back… Where I could dream out loud of you and anywhere I go it’s like I’m walking through halls of mirrors that try to make a perfect image of you. It’s just us, no one else is here.

There’s nobody else near.

You were once there, three feet away. And now you’re here, three breaths away. Three short breaths of pure, innocent love. And I can’t catch up with the heightening tense pleasure, I can’t breathe with this thick humidity we created with our little sunshine.

And it’s hard ’cause you take my breath away.

And you kissed me with a taste of salt from my tears. Tears that rolled down on my face like gentle raindrops that slide down your windshield. And like the car wiper you kissed my tears away… I wonder where they have gone.

And there we lay together. Beneath the roof of security, inside the walls that couldn’t see. Under the moonlit sky complimented by the countless tiny sparks that fall down to make our wishes come alive. Surrounded by the evening breeze made warm by a mere contact of your hand to its nothingness. And there we lay still, and nothing is stopping us now.

Except maybe the rain, that makes me think of the lonesome nights I have been through…

Those endless cold times without you. Nothing but the deafening drops of contaminated water on my roof. Nothing but wet clothes that pairs up with the freezing cold.

And when it started to pour, it made me think of the place you’ll be going home to.

Will you be staying with me here and light up a fire? It’s been a slow and gentle friction and together we ignite… Together we ignite.

While people push everything around, you pull me under sheets of cotton and make me feel I’m home. And when we realize the day is ending, when the sun gets to peak at us again… we might get caught but we don’t mind…

And no, this time it’s not just something that goes on in my mind.

It’s what’s going on in yours too.
