One more moment


Just another moment here in your arms Just one more.... One more...oh just one more moment Your touch confines me, envelopes me, cradles me. Your skin is fire and I am ice. You touch me and I melt against your heat. No longer chained to the earth but floating high above the clouds, your open arms the open sky Just another minute here with you Just one more... One more... One last minute...... It isn't enough, it's never enough. No matter how hard I pull, it won't stretch any further. And when you pull away, part of my heart goes with you. As soon as I'm alone, my soul screams for comfort, for warmth, for love The right kind of love, the only love I strive for The love which is my opiate, that numbs the pain and helps me forget why I hurt in the first place My heart stiffens through withdrawal, my system freezes in the cold absence of warmth And then life slows down, the days turn longer, the nights turn sadder Until I can get my next fix Just another hour together Just one more... One more hour... One more goddamn hour The dragging feeling as you cling to every moment, watching the seconds tick by. I watch as it helplessly slips through your fingers. All I can do is hold on tight and to pray I won't have to let go, but you know that whatever god you pray to can't help. My insides sing a calamity of   anguish as the time approaches once more...I know I must leave, but my body stays glued to yours in a desperate attempt to make the moment at hand last another minute Another hour Another day Week Year Eternity...... Just another eternity Just one more eternity here in your arms. That's all I need
