   Five Months

 

 

  The night creeps through my bones with a winter's chill, sending shivers down my spine*

  Like cold hands across my skin

  Five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth

  Until my blood ran cold and life stood still

  And still I hold my breath, counting the nights I've stood with my heart in hand

  And still I hold my breath, counting the nights.

  Waiting for silence to break me down again

  If only you could see

  See it in my eyes how much it means

  Your touch, Your smile

  To a heart that's beat has long since given out and given in

  The night opens wide, swallowing every sense

   

  

  Embracing me with emptiness

  The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life's imitation

  How can we truly say that we are alive

  When everything I see in me is screaming

  How can we truly say that we are alive

  When everything I see in me is screaming otherwise?

  It's screaming otherwise

  Cause five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth

  Until my blood ran cold and life stood still

  The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life's imitation
