Skin to Skin, Heart to Heart

Grasp, then all the memories flash. Hold tight.
Young souls leave forever with memories.
The space grows and it fades to black and white.

Raw emotion seeps through veins. Arms invite
another’s. Moments of laughter, tears, joy.
Grasp, then all the memories flash. Hold tight.

An embrace of love, hurt, fear – day and night.
Big hearts beat in sync. We’re here together.
The space grows and it fades to black and white.

The haunt of faint voice. Flames in heart ignite.
Wanting to stay in the presence of you all.
Grasp, then all the memories flash. Hold tight.

Do not show. My head held low, far from height.
Tears cascade and are no longer held in.
The space grows and it fades to black and white.

Bare walls of empty – no escape in sight.
“Stay here for eternity”. But can I?
Grasp, then all the memories flash. Hold tight.

A single touch between two. All feels right.
Head in the clouds, filled with all and nothing.
Grasp, then all the memories flash. Hold tight.
The space grows and it fades to black and white.
