When my heart is drained
And only space takes its place
Chest full of pins and needles
And the numbness slows my pace

My soul so alone
And in its cave hibernates
Stinging of tiny memory
As my willingness abates

Let down becomes the phage
It gets too hard to gauge
So I let my temper rage
And what if it were
That just one touch from her
is like your medication

A patient does not know it
Until the treatment is found
But what patience is possible
Now that you're around

Many ways you're calming
Your gentle gaze so fetching
Smiling you're beguiling
But that caress is your best

Let down becomes the phage
It's just too hard to gauge
So I let my temper rage
If only I knew
That darling just one touch from you
is like a medication

So delicate a touch
For me it means so much
All else drifts away
With you I want to stay
It's like you're medication
