Talk To Me (Dec, 2009)

I won't tell you I need you today
But I need you, I need you...
My soul collapsed this morning
I'm frightened to let you know,
to watch your eyes scan the horizon
while the truth spills behind your back

Talk to me of things that matter
Please, I beg of you today
Don't forecast the coming snowstorms
And talk of travel and holiday plans
Funny fucking dog stories and cats that snore
And Christmas recipes you adore
Gift frustrations and last minute searches
Cause I don't care, I don't care.

Talk to me of things that matter,
Save me from this space of nothing,
Tell me what you're thinking -
Why you love what you love
How you  hurt when you hurt
Passions tucked behind your wall
all of it, that's all I want, just all of it...
to soak in the truths of you

Talk to me of things that matter,
Close my eyes to everything but you
Speak of fingertips tracing warm skin
and lips searching through sensations
of blissful tears crawling down my cheek,
and voices whispering in the darkness
Feel the shudders that flow through me
when distance is closed with a gaze.

Speak of what matters, or don't speak at all.
