» Poem: taken
taken

Sometimes, it's hard to catch my breath,
Just let me rest, just for a moment...
Don't speak, 'cause I can't think
About my silent cries of lament...

A shallow whisper of a tear,
Just one more time to cry...
Something is breaking and bleeding...
... On the inside.

I am so taken by this,
I am so shaken by this...

Tell me when it's okay to open my eyes...

Taken, taken, breaking...

I stare into the sun...
I hold it's broken, glassy beams.
Nothing ever mattered,
But now, it means everything.

A grave made of clouds provide,
A bed of dreams where I now lie,
Is there any reason for me to
Feel this alive and warm inside,

And, I am so taken by this,
I am so shaken by this...

Tell me when it's okay to open my eyes...

Tell me when it's okay to open my eyes...

Tell me when it's okay to open my eyes...

Tell me when it's okay to say

I am so taken, by you...
I am so shaken, by what you do.

I can't breathe, now...

Taken, taken, taken...

Taken, taken, I am so

Taken by... You.
