Dead Man
I'm calling you, dead man
Never to be known
Unreal
You can not comfort me
You can not hold me
You will never know me
My clenched throat
My glassy eyes
My anger turned in
My hate
My disappointment in love
Love missed
Missed the boat, the plane, the train
I'm calling you
From this deserted track
In your absence
I will talk to you
My grief does not seem to end
My longing only lengthens
How do I meet these needs?
How do I stop the pain?
I give up
I can't deny the power
The force of the need, the anger, the grief
The dreaded longing not to be alone
