Dying in You

by Colleen Barry
Written 01-21-05

Standing in your shadow

I’m damn near transparent.

Swimming in your eyes

I might as well drown.

Walking in your footsteps

I should start out on the ground.

 

Oh I’m dying in you

I’m starting off down,

I’m beginning to fade

I’m lifeless, on the ground.

 

So shed some light on my soul

Pull me out of this hole,

Take my hand and pull me to my feet

And promise me, my heart you’ll keep.

 

‘Cause I’m, going numb

It’s getting colder

As I die in you

And collapse on your shoulder.
