VOICE

The Ghost Of Adam In My Head -

Haunts Me With The Things He Said...

Gone Forever?

Still Not Dead?

Erotic Pain Fills Me With Dread.

But Then I Close My Eyes And See

The Ghost Of Adam Next To Me...

When Naked In My Bed Of Dreams -

The Boy Looked Down...

With Tears And Frown...

The Boy Knelt Down...

And Stifled Screams.

And Then Goodbye I Always Remember -

The Coldest Kiss In The Cold Of December:

When He Walked

Without Returning My Gaze -

Me With Words Spoken...

And Our Love Left Broken..

And Only The Echo Of His Turn Of Phrase.
