Athens |
| And you wonder why |
| It’s no wonder |
| It’s so easy to carry these feelings from day to day |
| From sigh to heavy sigh |
| Don’t ask why |
| I’m just quiet in my mood |
| It’s my way |
| Apparently sullen, more probably shy |
| (Textbook assumptions for the weary of eye) |
| You earnestly try |
| To put into logic |
| The dense intensity |
| Meeting of minds |
| Try to make sense of the lengthening silence |
| That’s left me confused |
| The lengthening silence that makes ghosts out of time |
| Is it such a surprise? |
| I’m surprised! |
| I was captured from the moment |
| The instant I saw you |
| I never stopped trying |
| I haven’t stopped reaching out to you. |
| I… |
| But you |
| You’re thinking |
| Were you thinking that I… |
| Oh no! |
| You’re mistaken |
| It’s my nature |
| A cold pretence hides a fire inside |
| I’m afraid of the closeness |
| Of the pain it inspires |
| And now I… |
| Now I ache from the yearning |
| Want to know why |
| There’s no whisper, no trace, no word |
| No sign |
| Where if anywhere does presumptiousness lie — |
| There in silent panic or here with foresight? |
| The gift you gave tightens itself on my wrist |
| Is that all it meant? |
| Is there no more than this? |
| The tightening, tangling, turbulent night |
| Expanding the distance, extinguishing light |
| I’m alone here |
| I want you |
| Do you hear me? |
| Goodnight. |
