Listen to the strings of my heart,
A quiet melody is being played -
So soft and soothing, so pure -
But it is the only thing I hear.
Your voice may break through
Into the melody to become one.
Your words would sound just as sweet
Even if they were so harsh.
Look closely, deeply, into my eyes;
Don't be surprised by what you see.
There is a light behind them
That shines through for you.
Your eyes burn into me -
They tell of a hidden passion
Deeper than either of us knows
And it spreads to reality like fire.
Feel my touch on your bare skin,
Delicately my fingers pass over you,
But even this small contact
Has a power that is uncontrollable.
Your hands are refused their release
By a society that you created.
You are locked up, behind a wall,
And you can't reach out to another.
Sensations overwhelm us if we let them
But fear will never let us be happy
And, if we are afraid of feeling for one,
We won't feel for anyone at all.
