The lingering light

Turn out the lights,
the flickering annoys
the clarity too bright

and let me hold you
tender and warm
into a dark haze
of endless love.

I could spend years
without  feeling
the same sweetness
and the same despair

but your heart is just too close
much more than I can bare.

I try to close my eyes
and live without you
but everyday you don't resist
neither do I to this mist
of never saying goodbye.
