Gillian

I feel the goosebumps poking through my skin like never once before

A new experience to live amid the smell of sweat and gin

And through it all I feel a parchedness linger deep inside my throat

To be quenched by your lips and the moisture of your kiss

Your tender shoulders carried so much more than they should ever take

My trembling hands do their best to relieve you from that pain

I hear you sigh as the warmth of my breath hits your neck

And it's louder than the fear that exists when we're here

A fear of being alone

A fear of having no one

And a live that feels
