Until You Fade

The pounding whispers
in my mind
that leave me hanging,
undefined,

between real life
and such sweet dreams,
rock me to sleep
on ripping seams,

and I'll unravel
just for you,
and maybe you'll
fall for me, too,

and we can run
for greener hills,
with frozen sunshine,
time to kill,

for nothing's warmer
than your smile,
so won't you hold me
for a while?

Rock me to sleep
within your arms,
let me fall victim
to your charms,

and then I'll slip back
to the world,
with all its hazy,
foggy swirls

of things that I
can't think about,
but I'll hang on
'til you fade out.
