NEXT TO YOU — SteemCN

Can I lay next to you?

Just next to you.
Close enough to be aroused by the stench of love.

Can you hold me in my arms?

Tight enough to feel you inside

Thrusting, quaking like a thunderstorm,

Dense as a raging fire,

Deep in my bones,

I want to fill you into my soul,

Come and make my temple your home.

Be like a two edged sword,

Piercing through my walls of doubts and confusion,
Deep enough to reach the pain that broods inside me,
Until my eyes well these silent tears of relieve.
Drown me in the ocean of memories.
I want to be loved again, that's too much, I understand
But aren't you here, beside?

Can't you see, what's in inside of me?

I need you inside me.

That's where it hurts, my heart;

That's where it haunts, my demons,
It's a Legion of confusion,
I need this opium you possess,

Those hands, how they heal me,

Those lip, how they hush my fears;
Those eyes, how deep they reach
Into the dying embers of my heart.
Can you be inside me?

There were you're needed, my love

Inside me.

I'm not asking twice,

But would you be--

-inside me?

--beside me?

--around me?
--about me?

Can I lay by your side

Next to you...you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you...

I don't want to be here if I can't be without you tonight...

Inspired by Sam Smith's song: next to you
