The Secret is Telling.

The signal is subtle
We pass just close to stroke
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns
The things we feel alone for one another
There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may b e the last time we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
Our act of defiance
We keep this secret in our blood
No papers or letters
We pass just close enough to touch
We love in secret names,
We hide within our veins.
The things that keep us bound to one another
Until the last resilient hope
Is frozen deep inside my bones.
And this broken fate has claimed me
And my memories for it's own.
Your name is pounding in my skin.
Can't you hear how it is sung?
And I can taste you in my mouth
Before the words escape my lungs
And I will whisper only once...
