Analysis of Neutral Existence
Carla Y Brown 1975 (United States of America)
This neutral state of existence
Never feeling anything
I want to feel alive
Live in the moments beyond the temporary gratification of our intimacy
You walk out you walk in
I can never exclude you or betray you
I'm bonded to you for eternity
You are my light my dark my everything
I am afraid to sleep for fear of never seeing you again
