Disclaimer: Erik is not mine. However, the poem is. So is the music. Too bad you can't hear the music. It's in my head.

In the Silence Falling

I stand outside in the pouring rain

I wish the water could help numb the pain

It's times like these I just can't comprehend

Why my heart keeps refusing to mend

And in the silence falling

I can hear you calling

You make my troubles melt away

I only wish that you could stay

Your voice surrounds me in the dawning night

And in this darkness there's no need for sight

My senses sharpen; I can feel so much!

My heart beats faster at your lightest touch

Your sweet intoxication

Stirs my imagination

My love, you make me strive

Just to simply stay alive

But when the sun begins to rise

You abruptly break all ties

I'm left shaking on the ground

Pitifully searching for your sound

Then through the day, I play my part

I ignore my breaking heart

There's nothing left for me to do

I must simply wait for you

And in the silence falling

I can hear you calling

You make my troubles melt away

I only wish that you could stay

Your voice surrounds me in the dawning night

And in this darkness there's no need for sight

My senses sharpen; I can feel so much!

My heart beats faster at your lightest touch

Your sweet intoxication

Stirs my imagination

My love, you make me strive

Just to simply stay alive

A rose's petals die and fall

So I am dying in your thrall

My weakly heart does not protest

Though it knows I'll have no rest

I am yours but you're not mine

When will I finally cross the line?

How can no one understands

That my soul is in your hands?

And in the silence falling

I can hear you calling

You make my troubles melt away

I only wish that you could stay

Your voice surrounds me in the dawning night

And in this darkness there's no need for sight

My senses sharpen; I can feel so much!

My heart beats faster at your lightest touch

Your sweet intoxication

Stirs my imagination

My love, you make me strive

Just to simply stay alive

Oh, just to stay alive

I've given you my tender heart

So now I wait till I fall apart
