119

How do you feel about 
God and other monsters?
How do you feel about
wishing I were there?
Is it something you've been thinking about,
or do you actually not care?

What I wouldn't give 
to feel your kiss
against the inside of my palm 
and know your lips 
were worth the wait 
and the pain of holding on.

I'm a falcon on a tether
a beast on a frayed leash
I could break it if I wanted
but what would it really mean
to be free
and not have you
to see, if only 
in my dreams 

How do you feel about
a life worth living?
What are your thoughts on 
hopes and dreams?
Are we walking side by side
or have you left me 
in the streets 
screaming 
and screaming
and screaming 
and screaming 
screaming your name
wondering why in the hell 
you never, ever came

What I wouldn't give 
to feel your hand
on my heart 
and know your fingers
can tell my heartbeat apart
from the palpitations of life
to the rhythm of belonging 
what I wouldn't give 
for you to 
recognize my longing

I'm a falcon on a tether
a beast on a frayed leash
I could break it if I wanted
but what would it really mean
to be free
and not have you
to see, if only 
in my dreams
