Questions Asked by a Fading Heart

Where are you?
You seem to be so far away
Standing here before me
With a smile on your face

Is it for me?
I reach for your cold hand
So slow to warm my heart
Your grip like a steal vise

Do you dream?
Are they just faded memories
You no longer wish to recall
Have they died in your reality

Who holds you?
In the middle of the night
When slumber's reminiscence rules
And the grasp on your heart loosens

Where's your soul?
Can you raise it from the grave
Buried beneath all the misery
Are you able to face yourself

Can you love?
Do you understand the depth
Of self you must give to hold me
Or the gift that I offer you
