another year grows cold and closer still to another year 

i take an image - a scent of us - and will it to become 

closed eyes send you back to me 

and you will never leave again

a memory of our sex has stained me 

and to taste myself upon your willing lips

it would release me 

with no regrets 

and no remorse 

the loss is imminent 

but the gain was great 

these things are mine for now and always.always 

and i would follow you anywhere 

and i would take you with me 

and i would follow you 

and i would take you

another day grows tired and so returns me to this place

lights extinguished - now all is still - i can feel you start to breath 

closed eyes send you back to me 

and you will never leave again

the torture of this ritual is staining me 

but with fervor i reach out and draw you in 

with the hope that you may release me 

with no regrets 

and no remorse 

the loss is imminent 

but the gain was great 

these things are mine for now and always 

and i would follow you anywhere 

and i would take you with me 

and when the dreams come

i would follow you anywhere

when the dreams come

i would take you with me

don't you know 

that i would follow you 

anywhere
